• Scope
• Cost
• Time
• Quality
 Software Development Life Cycle
• Planning (Requirement Analysis)
• Analysis (Defining Requirements)
• Designing (Project Architecture)
• Implementation (Developing)
• Testing (Debugging)
• Maintenance
• (Deployment to the market)

1. Requirements Volatility
• Believe it or not many
times, the constant
changing of requirements is
the major reason behind
the complexity of software
projects.

Issues and Challenges
2. Extremely High Competition
• We all know that this is a highly
competitive era. If one software
industry X has a great idea, there are
high chances that another software
company Y may also have ready
thought of it, and even if not, there may
be no way to determine how close any
ABC company is to develop it. It depicts
that, especially in the software industry,
market pressures are so high

3. Never Ending Technology
advances
• No matter if you are a technology
enthusiast or not, you must be well
aware that technology is advancing
at the speed of light nowadays.
Even though these new changes
bring scope to learn new things
each day, still after a point of time,
it gets challenging too.

4. Quality Testing and Bug Fixes
• We all know, creating or writing code is not
all when you are developing a product. To
ensure the actual outcome meets the
intended outcome, various iterations of
testing occur throughout the project cycle
within these projects. And, to discover
issues/bugs throughout the testing phases is
very common that further requires retesting
and fixing that too until the issues are
resolved

5. Not Understanding the Project 6. Integration

• We all know that developers do not •
directly interact with the clients, and this
is because of the process that the project
manager or bidder will talk to the clients.
So, when it comes to users, who have a
personal idea to have the software, it
surely attracts difficulties for a developer
as they barely get to interact with the
clients directly.
In the mid steps of software development,
there are a lot of different technologies,
systems, and applications, which are
integrated into third-party applications. But
almost always, the biggest issue in
integration is stayed hidden throughout the
development process. And as a result, it
leads to extra cost, lower quality, and delays,
and sometimes even failure of the project.

7. Security Threats 8.Time Estimation

• This is an undeniable fact that data is a •
valuable commodity for almost everyone.
And some people, including your client,
are willing to pay a lot for its security.
• SQL Injection
• Make your workstation secure by Log off ,
after use.
This is one very important decision to take
while starting to create a project because
many times, people make this mistake. You
may not know how to make a good estimate.
Or it is also possible that you gave an
estimate, but unfortunately, you didn’t stick
to it. Or in the end, your project went over
schedule as you couldn’t keep up with the
rest of the team.
Concluding Thoughts
• So, we have seen several software
development problems that are very
common to witness in IT organizations. So,
now you can easily start looking for its
solutions.
• Must say you can try implementing
software development best practices
because it will surely help reduce these
problems to a large extent.
