September 2000 Cutter IT Journal -- Litigation

by Cutter Consortium

Unfortunately, it's becoming more and more common to see IT projects end in expensive lawsuits. Indeed, some of the larger contract development firms are likely to spend more money on litigation than they do on coding. And the consequences are greater than just a large figure for legal expenses in the corporate P&L statement: inevitably, software-related litigation means that high-level IT executives, mid-level project managers, and lower-level technical specialists are dragged into the courtroom to explain their role in the dispute. Nobody wants a lawsuit, but if it's a likely occurrence, then the project manager should plan for it.
