Abstract

Software Project Management is a topic that is rarely found in the call for papers at Software Engineering conferences. This combined with the fact that most software project managers have not been trained in management methods has resulted in software project managers adopting methods that they believe are beneficial but are not. This is not a sustainable situation as software projects are becoming more expensive with far reaching consequences for failure. This paper cites some of the more common fallacious methods and provides published references refuting their presumed benefits together with suggestions as to how to improve the current state of affairs.
