Our debriefing of 12 development team members uncovered a long list of issues not uncommon in many other industries. What was not working as well as it might? · The hardware decision was made before a software solution was devised. The software had to adapt to it. This caused delays. · The hardware-software solution was suboptimal because it was not as fluid as it should have been. · Corporate technology offices dictated a solution contrary to the development team's advice. · During initial testing, the company and its lead hardware supplier did not resolve problems easily.
D. candidate at MIT's Sloan School, helped research topics and track subjects.
