Does the adherence to software engineering concepts allow effective management in planning, organizing, staffing, monitoring, and controlling the development of quality software with-in time and resources budgets? Our panel of experts will provide realistic analysis of current management problems with software development and proven successful approaches and techniques for solving these problems in the production and subsequent maintenance of software. Issues to be discussed include:Inadequate planning for changes and management of change controlOvercoming continuous project redefinition of goals, schedules and responsibilitiesProgress measurement of actual technical accomplishmentsImproving communications between users, analysts, designers, and programmersValidity of software development estimating techniques in planningProgrammer productivity improvement utilizing structured design and programming techniquesTop down implementationConfiguration management
