Critical Success Factors
- use incremental scheduling and staging
- find and fix failing ideas
- develop a habit of delivering

- use of C++ in commercial IS
see Surviving Object-Oriented Projects: A managers Guide
OO - Success and Failure
- OO = technology + mind-set
- it might be new technology to your organisation
- developers love it!
- requires and enables communication between groups
- adopting OO may succeed or fail!
Possible benefits - responsiveness
- responsiveness - variations on a theme
- responsiveness to change!
- time-to-market
- communication - developers, users, executives
- maintenance, reuse, productivity
- GUI development
- morale -- cutting-edge technology
Drawbacks
- Are YOU underestimating?
- productivity takes time
- hazards of C++ (and Java, ...)
- reuse is difficult
- establishing a software process
- business-modeling or software design?
- CASE helps?
- You will pay for: training, experience, tools, consultants, ...
The hazards of C++?
- C++ won the language war over Eiffel, Objective-C, SOM, C@+, and Java?
- Java -- relative simplicity and portability
Managing (the complexity of) C++
- misconception: C++ is like C
- consider using another language
- Why does C++ exist? - engineering and systems programming
- create a subset of the language
- design and coding standards
- use people with knowledge!
Risk-reduction Strategies
- look carefully all around the project
- detect the risks!
- list the risks in order
- work on the risks in order of danger
