Abstract :
Well-known author and consultant Tom DeMarco is a regular contributor to IEEE Software whose viewpoints always generate some healthy discussion. His article "All Late Projects Are the Same" in the November/December 2011 issue was no different, resulting in both letters to the editor and comments on the Computing Now website. To keep the conversation going, we include a selection from both letters and Web comments in this issue. If you would like to join the discussion, feel free to email software@computer.org or comment at www.computer.org/software/lateprojects.
