Abstract

From observations gathered during a study of large software development projects, it was concluded that the software engineering technology (SET) transfer process is plagued with problems involving learning, technical communication, and negotiation. The underlying causes of these problems are discussed. The observations presented here attempted to help facilitate the MCC Software Technology program technology transfer of advanced software development technology, which mostly failed. Technology transfer was a major goal and risk of the MCC Software Technology program
