Project Problems in Chip Design

In the March 24, 2004 issue of EE Times we read:

"... the unspoken truth in today's complex world of system-on-chip (SoC) design is that most ICs will neither be developed nor delivered on time.

In fact, 89 percent of IC development projects miss their deadlines, according to Ron Collett, president and CEO at Numetrics Management Systems.

Consulting firm Accenture reports a similar trend, citing a range of schedule delays from as little as 3 percent to as much as 30 percent in IC development."
