Abstract
This is the first chapter that will begin the exploration of the concept ‘the silver mind-set’ — discussed in the last few pages of Chapter 8. It will have the objective of providing a set of practices and procedures which, if followed, will materially improve the odds of successfully developing a software system. No magic, and precious little novelty. But, in exchange, there will be a great deal of common-sense, which is sometimes lacking in the hurly-burly of exciting new state-of-the-art programming tools and tomorrow’s technology design models. The totality of all the inputs discussed here (see Figure 9.1) will provide a solid framework for ongoing system development. We are going to lay down a philosophy.
