Software
Projects: The Human Factor
Software
is developed by people.
People with a set of
application language and tool skills.
In a continually changing
environment it is difficult to keep these skills up-to-date.
Successful large projects
also depend to a high degree on team skills;
however, they are not
part of a software engineer’s training.
Software is developed
for people.
Customer participation
has an impact on productivity and quality,
and the wise management
of requirements specification changes
is key to project control
and satisfied customers.
Software is maintained
by people.
A project where few
people understand the functionality is a maintenance risk.
Process improvements
can be cancelled out by high staff turnover.
To improve the product,
organizations must invest
not only in processes,
but in motivating, training
and keeping
their most important
resource
- people.
