EMBEDDED
A project that will be difficult for a company. Perhaps it is in a domain of
application that is fully novel (in 1965, build a software system to control a
rocket that will fly men to the moon and back), or perhaps it is an area in
which the company has little experience (Boeing writing Nuclear Power
Plant control systems). Perhaps the teams available are freshly formed and
inexperienced together.
Embedded projects also tend to suffer from the inherent complexity coming
from specific, special hardware requirements. They tend to be very large
efforts. Tight execution constraints complicate the development. Regulations
from some authority may put constratins on the project as well.
