For three decades, people have been saying that software development should be a branch of engineering, and during that time, it seems that a majority of that group has been advocating process improvement as the route to that goal: if we can just write sufficiently detailed and comprehensive procedures, the problem will be solved. Unfortunately, there is little to show for this effort, and IT software is being written very much as it was before, even as just about everything else in computing has radically changed.
