After years of careful preparation and planning, construction and implementation works for the new international accelerator complex FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) at GSI have seriously been started. The FAIR accelerators will extend the present GSI accelerator chain, then being used as injector, and provide anti-proton, ion, and rare isotope beams with unprecedented intensity and quality for a variety of research programs. The accelerator control system for the FAIR complex is presently being designed and developed by the GSI Controls group with a team of about 50 soft- and hardware developers, complemented by an international in-kind contribution from the FAIR member state Slovenia. This paper presents requirements and constraints from being a large and international project and focusses on the organizational and project management strategies and tools for the control system subproject. This includes the project communication, design methodology, release cycle planning, testing strategies and ensuring technical integrity and coherence of the whole system during the full project phase.
