Conway om kontinuerlig forbedring
“Given any system design, someone someday will find a better one to do the same job.”
“There's never enough time to do something right, but there's always enough time to do it over.”
Conway om store systemer og store organisasjoner
“...(an) organization will stamp out an image of itself in every design it produces.
“The larger an organization is, the
less flexibility it has and the
more pronounced is the phenomenon.”
“The structures of large systems tend to disintegrate during development, qualitatively more so than with small systems.”
Årsak #1
“The realization that the system will be large ... make irresistible the temptation to assign too many people to a design effort.”
“Two men working for a year
or one hundred men working for a week ...
are not resources of equal value”
“... the two men
... will give us a better system.”
Brooks' lov
“Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.”
Årsak #2
“Application of the conventional wisdom of management to a large organization causes its communication structure to disintegrate.”
“Even in a moderately small organization it becomes necessary to restrict communication in order that people can get some "work" done.”
“Communication is a sign of dysfunction... We should be trying to figure out a way for teams to communicate less with each other, not more.”
Årsak #3
“Homomorphism insures that the structure of the system will reflect the disintegration which has occurred in the organization.”
