Cosylab is the leading provider of software solutions for the world’s most complex, precise and advanced systems. We also provide software products and services to the largest medical device manufacturers and cancer centers worldwide. In our 20-year history, Cosylab has worked on hundreds of multi-year projects worldwide. Software projects run the highest risk of cost and schedule overruns. On average, large IT projects run 45 percent over budget and 7 percent over time*. There are some common pitfalls when defining and executing projects in the Control Systems field. This article presents some concepts on how to address them, such as: having a clear definition of a project’s scope, budget, and timeline; doing project risk management; having a clear division of responsibilities; and having a project sponsor from the management.
