Software and systems development face delays, budget overruns, and questionable product quality. A plethora of methods, technologies, and managerial principles, e.g., powerful programming platforms, agile software development, modeling techniques etc., have been suggested over the years, but the problems persist. 

Software and Information Systems are created by people. My research concerns the developers, their organization, and their work: Who are the developers? What are their skills and qualifications? How do they work and collaborate to develop feasible solutions? How are software and systems development projects planned and management? By providing answers to these questions I hope to contribute to improve software and systems development practices. This will not solve the persistent software and systems development practices, but it may improve them and help us manage them better.
