Why (most) software projects fail silently...

What this session covers

Software has several unique features that differentiate it from other products. It is not bound by natural laws, can be easily modified, can be replicated indefinitely, and is largely intangible. These traits create a specific kind of complexity that can make it challenging for even experienced software developers and architects to successfully manage their projects.

In this talk, we will explore how these characteristics affect different software systems, whether they are small mobile apps or large enterprise cloud solutions.

The goal of this presentation is to help everyone involved in projects gain a better understanding of each other’s perspectives and to provide insights that can improve awareness of potential project risks.
