A Survey on Challenges of Software Project Management.
Kadir Alpaslan Demir · 2009
Abstract- Recent surveys indicate that software projects have still high failure rates. In order to increase the odds of success, we have to identify the challenges and determine the causes. Management issues, rather than technological issues, are mostly the causes of these failures. We identified 17 possible areas in which the projects may have been challenged. In this study, we present our findings based on a survey on challenges of management of software projects. We conducted the survey in 2007 among 78 software practitioners regarding their last projects. The participants are from different geographical regions of the world.
