On the need for optimization of the software development processes in short-term projects
This addresses project management challenges for small-scale software developers in Mexico, but it is incremental as it focuses on identifying existing issues rather than introducing new solutions.
The paper tackles the problem of high failure rates in short-term software development projects in Mexico by proposing research to identify success factors and propose techniques for improvement, though no concrete results or numbers are provided.
Nowadays, most of the software development projects in Mexico are short-term projects (micro and small projects); for this reason, in this paper we are presenting a research proposal with the goal of identifying the elements contributing to their success or failure. With this research, we are trying to identify and propose techniques and tools that would contribute in the successful outcome of these projects.
