Abstract
In order to successfully manage the new Ada technology, the software manager must be able to: successfully interact with upper management, negotiate with and educate the contracting agency, user, and Independent Verification and Validation (IV & V) personnel, and lead an often diverse group of developers using new software development methods and tools in addition to a new language. This paper points out problems and offers solutions for dealing with project politics, sociology, and psychology that often have a larger impact on the success of Ada projects than do the technical issues.
