Common project problems From Twin Cities CFUG meeting7/10/02

Problems 1 Communication – client and team Scope creep flexible structure to add features Someone else’s code (or my old code!) Bad code – logic flow, database issue, hard to read, bad variable and file name

Problems 2 Undocumented code Bad database design Lack of separation of design and code Lack of structures and common objects Change things in one place Lack reusability Lack of standards – every one else can’t maintain

Problems 3 Bugs found by client, hard to find Is it a bug or an enhancement Relying on memory or poor spec
