One of the major factors for this increase is that most of the systems are digital in operation. But, it is not the costs of the computers that have been driving the costs upward; it is the cost of the associated computer programs. Much has been said about controlling the costs of these computer programs from development through the life cycle of the system. However, there are neither directives nor guidelines to assist in attempting to control. Even a general WBS for the development of computer programs is non-existent. This study paper is an attempt in establishing some guidelines for controlling the development of computer programs during full scale development which would reduce risks and overall life cycle costs.
