DESCRIPTION

Software is eating the world. The figures to support this are quite compelling. In this presentation, we present 21 compelling facts, figures, and stats about the software development industry. These are focused on 4 categories: the software market, software developers, software problems and custom software. We provide answers to questions such as: - What is the global IT spend? - What is the global software spend? - How fast is the software as a service (SaaS) market growing? - What percentage of venture capital investments are in software companies? - How many developers are there in the world? How many Java developers? - What percentage of (large) software projects run over time and budget? - What is the growth rate of software productivity? - What percent of software spend is on custom software? - What is the average annual custom software spend by large UK financial services companies? - What percentage of companies spend more than half of their software budget on customer software? - And more.

The report, called Strategies for Project Recovery ,covers 163 companies roughly split between small, medium, and large organizations. On average, respondents manage $200 million in projects each year, of which approximately 37 percent are "at risk." The average company in the study therefore faces $74 million of "at risk" projects each year. -

*These unpredictable high-impact events—“black swans” in popular risk parlance—occur significantly more often than would be expected under a normal distribution. Large IT projects that turn into black swans are defined as those with budget overruns of more than 200 percent (and up to 400 percent at the extreme end of the spectrum).
