I've spent 20 years thinking about why building huge skyscrapers works and building software doesn’t..
Too many short cuts in software. 1st BIG mistake... Most developers don't even understand their business's process from beginning to end and by that I mean from ordering the raw goods to placing the finished product in inventory and from receiving the order to shiping, testing, and installation of the finished product.. 2nd BIG mistake...Not involving the business stakeholders in the design (yep, I know they don't want to be involved). If a company has 10 depts including IT that process the product and order, then the manager of that dept, NOT a subordinate, needs to understand specifically what their dept is doing and they need to bring that knowledge to the design table with the other depts and IT.
