I own a small software development company that developes Web software to other small and medium companies in Chile. The business process is very complex and it is hard to stablish where to put the efforts to make our company better, more efficient, and give better solutions.I'm also a TI master's degree student and i'm making a paper about this subject, so any help would be great to help my company and my paper. I have considered 3 areas for the problems:1) Software development problems2) Web development problems3) Small and Medium companies problemsI don't know about you, but at least this business formula in Chile has not received very much support but it is getting better, but today my company is far from being self-sufficient.UPDATE: Thanks guys for your support so far, i'm updating because i have somewhat enough information so i decided to go deeper within the subjects, wish i would like you to consider for your next answers/commentaries on the subject:1) Software development problems (3)1.1 Incomplete problem picture1.2 Useless delivered software1.3 Unrealistic or inadequate schedule2) Web development problems (3)2.1 Apparently non-viable implementation2.2 Unefficient module construction design2.3 Reduced result system inter-operability3) Small and Medium companies problems (3)3.1 Very specific, but narrowed requerired system characteristics3.2 Developed system is not used3.3 Positivist demand for activities in project executionThere are only 3 problems for category, to deliberately keep a thiner scope. Also, i have considered that it would have been apropiated to separate the third clasification on two, but won't be doing it just now:3) Small and Medium software developement providers problems4) Small and Medium software developement clients problemsIn that case, i think i would have made the scope of the problem wider and it is not what i want to do now, until at least i'm very trough with the other two clasifications. What you think?
What do you think are the biggest software development issues, in small to medium businesses?
