How to Avoid software project failures

Problems encountered in software development.
Symptoms of Software Development Problems

• Inaccurate understanding of end user requirements
• Cannot handle changes to user requirements
• Modules cannot be combined
• Software is difficult to maintain and expand
• Too late to find serious project defects
• Poor Software Quality
• Unacceptable Software Performance
• The members of the project team are independent of each other, so they cannot reproduce who, when, and where, and why they have modified things.
• Unreliable establishment-release process

Root Cause of the above problem
Root causes of Software Development Problems

• Inadequate Demand Management
• Vague and inaccurate Communication
• Fragile structure
• Complexity that exceeds processing capability
• Undiscovered conflicts between requirements, design, and implementation
• Inadequate Testing
• Subjective estimation of project status
• The opportunity to reduce risks is delayed due to Waterfall Development
• Uncontrolled modification spread
• Inadequate Automation

Successful practical experience
Best Practice

Best practices is a series of commercially verified software development methods that eliminate the cause of software development problems when used together. They are called "best practice" not because we can calculate their value, but because they are widely used by successful organizations in the industry.

• Iterative development develop iteratively
• Management requirement Manage Requirements
• Use component ubuntures
• Build a visual model of the software.
