Fracasso em projeto de software: um estudo de caso com um projeto de sistema WEB.

Abstract

Failures in software development projects have become commonplace. On a daily basis we can observe the recurrence of these failures when reading newspapers, articles, books and websites about technology. These errors are defined in terms of delivery delays, increased costs and non-compliance with business objectives. Many projects end up being canceled or they generate much more expenses and negative consequences for companies. Rarely are the perspectives of the developers who worked on these projects observed. The present case study provides developers perceptions of a software project with mixed conclusions about it’s success. Interviews were conducted with them and an analysis was made based on the interviewees perspectives and what the literature says about the topics covered. The study shows several points of the interviewees' impressions about what happened during the development process.
