Abstract:
Software designing phase is an important phase in the software development lifecycle. There could be a number technical and non-technical issues e.g., communication issues and understand-ability issues which may hinder desired progress in this phase affecting the software project output. We study how these issues affect software project by con- ducting interviews and surveys within software houses and IT concerns. We report how communication issues and understand- ability issues contribute statistically significantly towards failure in software projects within organizations. Index Terms—software development life cycle (SDLC), commu- nication issues, understand-ability issues, political issues, software designing phase issues.
