rom the conclusion of Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) report Real-Time Systems Engineering: Lessons Learned from Independent Technical Assessments"

    The most significant drivers to failure on these systems continue to be management and culture related, just as they are in commercial systems. Technological failings, while they exist, also have a strong management flavor, as they tend to cluster around failings in the systems engineering process. There are no technology 'silver bullets' and anyone promoting any technology as a panacea should be viewed with suspicion. A recent Defense Science Board report states: Too often, programs lacked well thought-out, disciplined program management and/or software development processes. In general, the technical issues, although difficult at times, were not the determining factor. Disciplined execution was[!]
