Introduction
Christmas is always a period of retrospecting. So let’s retrospect software design and development. When it’s time to design a new software system, a lot of variables must be taken under consideration. One variable is the past also. In order to paint the future, you have to look what you or others did in the past, but also what didn’t happen and why. Especially the what didn’t happen part might give you more insights.
If you take a step back, and look at similar to yours products and services, you will understand more the progress that has taken place in the domain, the growth, the risks and the failures, if they exist. The software analysis, design, and development processes, principles and tools have changed a lot in the past fifty to seventy years. But one thing is still the same. And this is people’s point of view to the goal, no matter if they are the stakeholders, the developers, the users. And the goal is to be better, faster, stronger, more successful than the competitor and keep or increase the power and domination.
Could the goal be different? Well individually yes, but in a corporate world the aforementioned explanation of the goal, is what you will hear from most of the companies, unless companies have become socialistic structures and I don’t know about it!
