Anti-Patterns in Software Projects … The Human Factor

   8/10/2007 12:00:00 AM   Rob Daigneau

The creation of software products is a highly complex endeavor. One methodology after the next is touted as being the solution to smoother project execution, but the pundits never seem to account for the chasm that exists between academia and reality in corporate world. This chasm exists because of the human factor, the ingredient which ultimately has the greatest influence upon the success of any software project. Join us in this session to see how people, teams, leadership styles, and politics can subvert the benefits that we should be realizing from strategic architecture plans, modern methodologies like Agile, and IT governance processes. We will identify some of the common anti-patterns attributable to people and organizations, and look at ways to address these self-defeating behaviors in positive manner.
