Management System To manage and control the development activities for Visa's new system, Visa Commerce, the management system that would perhaps be best applicable is to focus the management and control on the development team that must consist of "just enough" number of members. This includes the team that chiefly handles all the requirements for the new system and the system's IT development team. Since Visa Commerce is a system for global use, it is essential that all development activities for the system must be firmly monitored and controlled. Communication to a team that is not large in number of members, yet enough to complete the system, facilitates this process.

An example of which is using a dynamic infrastructure in the Visa Commerce system, where system components update themselves by design. As indicated by the GMD Institute for Open Communication Systems, in Marcin Solarski's Dynamic Updating of Software Components in TINA-based Systems, a dynamic infrastructure can provide the following advantages to systems.
an update of a component is transparent to the rest of the system the loss of system functionality during the update is minimized a process of the system upgrade needs minimal human intervention
