Projects with a high software content are frequently completed late, with overrun costs and inadequate performance. Much of this is due to inadequate management, mainly caused by a lack of availability or knowledge of the criteria, methods and tools on which effective management should be based. Examples are given of the most frequent problems met by project managers. A plea is made for a vigorous effort to be made in developing management strategies which will allow the tools and techniques now being researched and developed to be used effectively for producing the high quality software needed for systems.
