Abstract :
Although people-related issues are central factors in determining the success of software projects, they do not receive sufficient attention in the software industry to improve project results. This essay describes two barriers to their getting more attention: barriers that originate in the academic status and positioning of software engineering. The essay also proposes several suggestions regarding the professional development of software practitioners.
