Impact of non-technical components on Success and Failure of Software Development

There is a lack of quantitative research into the non-technical components of software development projects. Further research on success and failure of software projects developed in-house are sparse. Therefore a study was conducted in India among the industries that are into in-house software development and focused at the following: 1)To study the level of non-technical components/factors, 2) To measure the percentage of software development success and failure from the perspective of software practitioners and from the organizations’ perspective (practitioners’ view), 3) To test whether there is any significant association on software development success and failure between the software practitioners’ perspective and the organizations’ perspective, 4) To study if any significant difference exists across the type of projects on the selected (dimensions of the) non-technical components, 5) To study if any significant difference exists across the duration of the projects on the selected (dimensions of the) non-technical components..
