The Latest on Software Project Management: Part I -- Are We Getting Any Better at It?

by E.M. Bennatan

In this, the first Executive Update in a series of three on software project management, we will begin by examining development organizations' perception of the process, and we will look at the more common project management problems. We will then look at some interesting comparative findings on project planning. Finally, we will take a broader perspective and try to determine whether we are, in fact, getting any better at the way we manage software projects.
