Some industry estimates suggest that the software project failure rate exceeds 70%. This appalling statistic is perhaps not so surprising when you consider the complexity of a large scale software project and the challenges of clear communications and expectation settings between the development team and the business sponsors.
Ran Davis Software is skilled at getting to the heart of the issues related to a stalled or failing project. Our engagements execute via time proven best practices with cross disciplined perspectives.
A frequent cause of software projects failure is a break down in the communications and expectations between the development team and the business sponsors. Ran Davis Software is highly effective at bridging this communication gap. Our team understands technology and development team dynamics, so we can rapidly assess the issues faced by the team.
Our engagements are driven by the following steps:
- Understand the strategy, business drivers, and business constraints.
- Perform a situational analysis of the software, team’s skills, organizational effectiveness, and communication mechanisms.
- Clearly communicate options to the executive decision makers to move forward.
- Recommend the best option and define next steps.
Frequently we are engaged by our clients for a leadership role in bringing about these changes and delivering this product into production.
