Contemporary software development is characterised by failures,
runaway projects, late delivery, exceeded budgets, reduced
functionality and questionable quality. Generally, as the
complexity and scale of attempted projects increases, the ability
to bring such projects to a successful completion decreases.
Indeed, while the software engineering community is technically
capable of producing software, there is a growing lack of
confidence in its ability to control such undertakings. A key
obstacle is that traditional software development is predicated on
constraints and limitations that are either no longer valid or that
pertain to well-structured situations. Many of the problems tackled
by software developers are simply not of that type. Rethinking
Software Development, a reprint of the original work which still
maintains its relevance, challenges the dominant mindset and
introduces an alternative; a more pluralistic perspective
supportive of continuous delivery, learning and dynamic resolution
processes. The discussion explores problem solving, decisions,
wicked problems, systems, design, change, economics, complexity and
knowledge as part of the search for lasting solutions.
