INTRODUCTION l am going to describe my pe,-.~onal views about managing large software developments. I have had various assignments during the past nit,.: years, mostly concerned with the development of software packages for spacecraft mission planning, commanding and post-flight analysis.

I have become prejudiced by my experiences and I am going to relate some of these prejudices in this presentation.
