The document discusses the current state of software development and identifies issues such as cost overruns, delays, and reduced functionality in delivered projects. It then presents solutions from Microsoft such as integrated development environments and tools for requirements management, testing, and project management that aim to address these issues by enhancing collaboration, quality, and predictability. Visualization of code dependencies and architectural integrity are also proposed to reduce bugs and technical debt over time.

An Acceptable Rate of Failure?
Average Cost overrun: 45%
Average Time overrun: 63%
Functionality delivered on average: 67%

4. The State Of Development Today
Considering that software development
accounts for 25% of software spend and
growing, identifying and addressing the
root causes of software development
failure makes business sense.

Quality
− Today that Triangle has become a
square;
− With quality being the 4th dimension
− It is commonly accepted that you can
only achieve 2 of the 3
− Do we call that Success?
− Are you willing to settle for 2 out of 4?

13. Understand Existing Systems
Eliminate Bugs

15. Could one change break
something unrelated?
How much faster you
could learn a new system
if you could visualize it?

16. − Visualize code and assets.
− Identify upstream and
downstream
dependencies.
− Generate a Sequence
Diagram.

17. − Code has a tendency to
"go bad" as time passes.
− How can you ensure
architectural integrity?

20. Queue
• Tester files

the defect.
Run

26. Are we going to
deliver a quality
project on time?
What do I need to
know now to course
correct?
What ‘fires’ will we
have to put out that
we don’t know about?
What can I do to
reduce the risk?
