Abstract
66% of software projects fail, according to the Standish Group's 2020 Chaos Report [1]. When we see that number, it comes to our mind the 1968 NATO conference on Software Engineering where leaders came together to discuss the state of software development which they described as "Software Crisis". If more than 50 years from that conference we estimate failed software projects to 66%, we cannot say that the "Software Crisis" is over. To evaluate that statement, we can look at the list of problems that conference listed and see whether they continue to be manifested. The conference formulated that software projects are: Unreliable, delivered late, impossible to maintain, costly to modify, performing at an inadequate level, and exceeding budget costs. Does any of this family of problem sound familiar? This paper surveys major challenges currently facing the software industry.
