      ab: The article discusses software development project management. The authors compare and contrast perceptions held by software developers and end-users regarding the successful attributes, functions, and requirements of systems made for end-users. Software development has been challenged by projects that were developed over-budget, late, and with limited functionality, the authors state. Other topics of discussion include ineffective communication between systems developers and end-users and what end-users consider to be important in the developmental process.
