Management of Large Software Development Efforts
Abstract
The high development and maintenance costs, and the late delivery experienced by many organizations when developing large software systems is well documented. Modern software practices have evolved to overcome many of the technical difficulties associated with software development. To a large extent, however, the high costs and schedule slippages can be traced to management, not technical, deficiencies. This article develops an approach for managing the software development effort that exploits the benefits of modern software practices in staffing, planning, and controlling software development.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
