Developers' Methodologies

Software developers and management consulting firms need effective IT development methods to reduce risk and improve project success rates.

The process of developing effective software is far more subtle than has been generally acknowledged. Inattention to this fact leads to:

  • Cost overruns and missed deadlines (85% of U.S. software projects)*
  • "Operating failures" (75% of large systems)*
  • Complete failures (25% of all software projects)*
  • Consequential damage: Financial loss, employee attrition, unsatisfied customers. *[Reference]

Effective methods focus on early-stage systems and project planning. Our clients move out of software crisis management.

Please see our Project Management Bibliography for a sense of the methods that are available as starting points.
