Up to now, Management Information System (MIS) has been widely used in enterprises in our country. More and more large MIS project will be constructed with the policy, "informatization enhances industrialization". However, we always ignore the risk in the constructing. It leads to blindly MIS building and causes great waste. According to our experience, project supervision system is an available way to bring down the risk.Information project supervise has been locally used since 1993. By now, the Ministry of Information Industry has published several specifications which are "Information system project supervise specification", "A method to control the IT project supervise organization's ability", and "A method to control the IT project supervisor's ability". These specifications build up an outline of the job content of IT project supervise, under which author discusses the supervisor's work rule in large and medium MIS developing project.MIS development consists of system planning, analyze, design, implementation, execution and closure. Based on these steps, the control and management of system development is performed by supervisor through a way which freezes up the process on the end of each stage, followed with strict review. Supervisor must give a just judgment in a third party. Supervisor's working process contains time choosing, group organizing, work planning, plan implementation, and documenting. Finally, a case about supervise in SERMIS building is introduced to further demonstrate the application of supervision.
