Abstract
Many companies have to outwit their competitors, in order to survive. The great Finnish company Nokia, one of our clients, is a good example. To engineer a product, especially one with software in it, that works well, and is delivered on time, is an usual feat in itself. Most all software developers fail miserably at this simple task, with 50% total project failure being the international norm, and another 40% partial failure reported.
