Enhancement of software project performance by overcoming waste, volatility and constraints simultaneously

There have been many projects and researches conducted to identify software projects’ failure and success factors. The success factors were always remained as best practices as it favours desired results while the failure factors are always avoided as it yields undesired factors. However, it is leas...
