how can software project problems be overcome?

WOW! Tough one.\n\nProject overruns can be caused by personalities not getting along and working together or using the wrong tool and finding it out after the fact or clients making huge changes to what they want.\n\nThe only thing you can realisticly do to help lessen software project problems is to be prepared.\n\nDo the homework on client needs.\n\nDo the compliance homework for the platform you're going to use.\n\nDo your homework to follow industry standards in design, for example, on MS the Composite UI standard.\n\nDo your DBA before hand, find flaws.\n\nDo your psuedo code run throughs before hand, find logic errors.\n\nHave a really code project manager software, with resource allocation and finiacial features, along with the charting, etc to always gain a view of how on time/bugdet the project is.  \n\nMS Project is still the best.  \n\nI tried a freebie mimicker and it was awful and that one if rated one of the best freebie project managers.

If the problem contains a significant number of unknowns that can't be addressed until you have reached that point in the solution.  \n\nAt that point you can create a new check list, unless of course you're in something like a bomb disposal unit and pressed for time.

what specificaly is the problem?

change problems to challenges.\n\nHigh wages and product cost cause several challenges to our budget costs

Probably one of the major challenges is once the s/w is in operation, invariably there will be changes made to it. This will give rise to new test cases that would not have been accounted for previously. Developing new test cases or redefining some of them will be difficult.\nAlso, it is important to determine how much is enough. It is not possible to test  all possible test cases due to time and budgetary constraints. So one cannot maximise testing but only optimise.

If you have a flow chart (as you should have), you could break the whole project down and have a larger number of team members work on subroutines or modules independently. You just have to have an agreed convention of GUI,  passing variables, and error trapping.

Check this site to see if something interests you.\nhttp://www.mindprod.com/projects/projects.html\n\nThose projects come with an effort estimation to attempt these problems.

Try this link below.  You might be able to find something.  If not, then Microsoft Office Project is a really good Project Management tool.

The way you manage projects doesn't vary much between industries.  MS Project is the most widely used tool in most industries\n\nI've included a link to other tools.

- Plan what your project is going to be like.\n- Estimate how much your budget cost when implementing this project(your asp.net app)\n- Choose what are the software model you want your project to implement. Is it Waterfall Approach? RUP(rational unified process)? or Extreme Programming?\n- After you have completed your project, go through your 4 phases and also designing, testing n implementation, documentation..\n- Test your functions again n again to ensure your program works well.

Think of a problem.  Then think how you would build something that would fix the problem.

http://www.paroxys.com/SoftwareRiskManagement/SoftwareRiskManagement.htm\n\n\nscroll down.. these is an explanation and a diagram.\n\nHope it helps.\ni want my 10 points if it helps ya :)\n\nThe classic software development triangle states that projects must balance time, quality, and features against each other. When SAP projects slip, enterprises often first try to buy more time by throwing more people at the testing problem and having them work overtime on nights and weekends in order to maintain quality and features. But without the right tools, people and processes, this attempt fails, and quality suffers resulting in threats to business continuity

the most important factor would be TIME. for example think about all the softwares that are daily used in businesses, what if they did not exist? how long and tiring would the procedure be to complete a simple process...

First, you buy a software development kit and learn the programming language.   Go to school. \n\nThen, come up with a design concept.  \n\nMake every effort to design every feature and option for your software package. \n\nThen make the disks and try to sell them. \n\nAbout 90% of all software development projects never make it in the real world.  I recommend that you get a job, so someone else pays these high development costs.   To get one of these great jobs,  GO TO SCHOOL.
