4. A professional, in the present day context, is the
one - academically qualified, technically sound,
consistent in excelling in his areas of expertise &
meeting the objectives as well as adding value to
whatever he/she is doing.

6.  Project Failure
 Successful Project will be done in long time
period
 The significant cost overruns.
 Projects were unmanageable and code difficult
to maintain
 Developers interpret requirements incorrectly
and fail to implement all requirements

7. Quoted from CIO Magazine Dec 1998:
Recent Standish Group survey indicates “46% of IT
projects were over budget and overdue and 28% failed
altogether”
“only 24% of IT projects undertaken by Fortune 500
companies in 1998 will be completed successfully”
From 1994 Standish report:
91% of projects at large companies failed, 30% of
projects at large companies were eventually cancelled.

8.  Broaden the narrow scope of the “system”.
 Broaden the engineering team according to
roles
 Software architect
 Software engineer
 Programmer
 Project manager
 System engineer
 IT professionals should be registered before
they practice
