The Agile project management methodology has been used by software engineers and IT professionals for the past sixteen years. In the late twenty century, many software engineering researchers in academia were studying the disturbing fact that most software and IT projects finish late or fail to finish at all.

Christine Basson , a Project Director at INEOS, says that you should “never underestimate the power of a well defined business case. Poorly defined business objectives are translated into a poorly defined project, lots of changes, [and an] unstable project platform. Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering by Robert L.

Let's start with the core issue on all software development projects. All engineering courses, including software development in Computer Science courses, is based on probability and statistics at some level. Probability is the study of randomness. Software engineering has become procedural and controlled.

An API’s purpose is not to be a perfect model, but to define the intended interactions between a requester and a provider of a service. The academic view appears to be (and I may be reading too much into this) that a thing doesn’t exist at all unless and until it has been published in an academic study. Out of scope.

Don’t define domain entities as simple types like integer or string. People who specialize in testing software will need technical skills more-or-less on par with competent software engineers. This may be a consequence of rushing the work. There’s a desire for rapid delivery. Err on the side of overdoing it.
