  1. The Systems Development Challenge “Challenges lead to opportunities”

  2. Software Crisis! Software Crisis! Software Crisis! Software Crisis! Software Crisis! Software Crisis! Software Crisis! Software Crisis!

  3. Software’s Chronic Condition is illustrated by years of: • Canceled or seriously delayed projects • Significant cost overruns • Low productivity • Low system quality • number of defects per x lines of code • not meeting the user’s requirements

  4. The Systems Development Challenge(Quality versus Productivity) Defects = Q U A L I T Y C A B D Best Defects = 0 0 PRODUCTIVITY (TIME)

  5. The Cost of Systems Development P E R C E N T O F T O T A L C O S T 100 80 60 40 20 0 Hardware Software Development (includes software, documentation, training, conversion, etc.) 1955 1980 1990 1995

  6. QUADRUPLE CONSTRAINT • Budget • Schedule • People • Capability

  7. IT: MANAGEMENT ISSUES • Right-sizing the information technology organization • Project backlogs of several years • Projects being late and over budget • User dissatisfaction with both the systems development process and the deliverable products • Hardware and software integration issues • The merger and centralization of voice, data, and video technologies • Concerns for effectively implementing notions such as continuous process improvements, total quality management, and applying for the Malcolm Baldridge Quality Award • Inter/Intra/Extranet development; Java; Corba/Com

  8. SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT RISKS • Inadequate measurement - cost of user • Excessive schedule pressure • Management malpractice • Creeping user requirements • Canceled projects - 50% for => 1M SLOC
