The perils of plenty - managing a large APL project

Jill Wade, Mary Vislay · ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad · 1983

APL has many advantages that make it well suited to the development of large interactive systems. However, the ease of writing APL code can often obscure the fact that coding is only one part of the total development process, and formal management techniques are essential to ensure the successful completion of the application. This paper examines some of the management problems that were encountered in the development of STSC's Long Range Planning System, and suggests ways in which they may be overcome.
