...Software Project Failure and Solutions According to Krigsman, (2007) business-critical and services project are not completed on time, cost too much, contain a lot of defects and fail to satisfy the business requirements they set out to achieve. Clancy, (1995) states that United States spend more than $250 billion each year on approximately 175,000 IT development project of which most will fail and that software development projects are in chaos. This paper aim to explain the reason why a significant amount of software projects fail and what make software projects succeed by reviewing evidence from a few reports and surveys. Research conducted by Standish Group in 1995, shows that 31.1% of project will fail before they are completed and 52% of project will cost 189% of their original cost. On average only 16.2% of software projects are finish on time and on-budget and 9% of software projects are finish on time within budget for large companies. Similarly failure figures for project failure due to restarts, cost overruns, tie overruns were disheartening and to make things worst nothing change since then (Clancy, 1995). The Standish Group survey of IT executive manager reveals that user involvement, executive management support and clear statement of requirements are the three major reasons why project succeed. Incomplete requirements and lack of user involvement are the main opinion why projects are impaired, eventually cancelled and hence fail. Table 1: Some of...

...following: • Providing software with inputs (a “workload”) • Executing a piece of software • Monitoring software state and/or outputs for expected properties, such as: – Conformance to requirements – Preservation of invariants (e.g., never applies brakes and throttle together) – Match to expected output values – Lack of “surprises” such as system crashes or unspecified behaviours General idea is attempting to find “bugs” by executing a program. Testing terminology Workload: • “Inputs applied to software under test” • Each test is performed with a specific workload Behaviour: • “Observed outputs of software under test” • Sometimes special outputs are added to improve observability of software (e.g., “test points” added to see internal states) Oracle: • “A model that perfectly predicts correct behaviour” • Matching behaviour with oracle output tells if test passed or failed • Oracles come in many forms: – Human observer – Different version of same program – Hand-created script of predicted values based on workload – List of invariants that should hold true over behaviour What is a bug? A “bug” can be one or more of the following: • Failure to provide required behaviour • Providing an incorrect behaviour • Providing an undocumented behaviour or behaviour that is not required • Failure to conform to a design constraint (e.g., timing, safety invariant) • Omission or defect in requirements/specification • Instance in which software performs as designed...

...Software Architecture Project Team A CSS 422 11-7-11 Mohammad Shakir Kamali Executive Summary This paper will discuss in detail the software currently in use at the four facilities of Riordan Manufacturing. Likewise, the paper will discuss the recommended software upgrades suggested by Team A in week 2. These recommendations will allow Riordan Manufacturing and its employee’s to work more efficiently and have greater overall productivity. This will ensure that Riordan Manufacturing will stay one step ahead of their competitors and have the ability to do business in a more professional manner. To do this, Riordan Manufacturing will need upgrades involving both hardware and software with minimal training and downtime. Introduction Riordan Manufacturing must update their current software and hardware systems to become up-to-date and competitive. Riordan Manufacturing consists of four separate locations, which all currently use dated software systems such as Microsoft 98 OS and Microsoft Office 2K, updating these outdated systems will increase efficiency with the advancements in newer systems. Riordan Manufacturing also has older outdated servers and switches that should be replaced to increase computing speed and transfer time. Updating the overall software architecture of Riordan will see gains overall for Riordan Manufacturing. Company Background Riordan Manufacturing is a global plastics manufacturer employing 550 people with projected annual earnings of $46 million...

Given these facts, this paper aims to investigate, through practitioners' perceptions of value, which agile practices are being used to improve two performance criteria for software projects—cost and scope. Using a multivariate statistical technique known as Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), the results suggest that the use of agile practices can be represented in factors which describe different applications in software development process to improve cost and scope. Also, we conclude that some agile practices should be used together...

How the resulted analysis drive the project? Will the technology supports the system and easy to integrate the different modules? Deciding the Right platform and application development environment to develop a software and doing the right analysis which best develops the system provided the right resources. Selecting the right technology not only helps to best develop the system but also to provide necessary assistance and training for the deployed product later. This coheres the importance of analyzing the technologies before entering the development phase. Many systems fail or delayed because of not selecting the right technology for their projects in different stages like development, data Integration, Support, Training etc. For this we select different software solutions, analyze the problem and the selected technologies to solve that. Observing the development time. Measuring the maintenance costs and support capabilities. Example: A web application for online bus ticket booking system which is developed on different platforms by different software companies or individuals. We collect the information like duration for developing the system, resources and costs for...

...Chapter 2 Exercise 3 The software development life cycle (SDLC) is the entire process of formal, logical steps taken to develop a software product. Within the broader context of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), the SDLC is basically the part of process in which coding/programming is applied to the problem being solved by the existing or planned application. The SDLC is broken down into six stages; project planning, requirements definition, design, development, integration/test, and application/acceptance (megamikejr.com). The first stage is the planning stage in which you create a software product that is extracting the requirements or requirements analysis. The stages generally align with the phases of project management lifecycle; however SDLC phases do no correspond one-to-one with project management phases. Project management deliverables such as the Project Scope Statement, Project Schedule, and budget estimates are refined to reflect increasing clarity of scope and requirements with each iteration. Agile methods have proven their effectiveness and are transforming the software industry.

Before software was born, project management was fully done through papers. This eventually produced a lot of paper documents and searching through them for information was not a pleasant experience. Once software came available for an affordable cost for the business organizations, software development companies started developing project management software. This became quite popular among all the industries and these software were quickly adopted by the project management community. Project Management Information System (PMIS) is used by upper and lower management to communicate with each other. Project Management Information System (PMIS) help plan, execute and close project management goals. Definition Project...
