often has problem failure to stick to cost and time because of the inherent complexity of software, the relative immaturity of software engineering and its technologies, lack of knowledge and experience on the part of software engineers, the inherent human tendency towards over-confidence, , and pressure to offer excessively low prices and short development times in order to obtain contracts or make sales2001-08-30 14:57:42.0
