Quotes from Robert Glass: Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering
My favorite bytes from the wonderful book Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering By Robert Glass
- People trump tools, techniques, and process.
- The problem is a culture that puts schedule conformance, using impossible schedules, above all else—a culture that values schedule so highly that there is no time to learn about new concepts.
- Runaway projects, at least those that stem from poor estimation, do not usually occur because the programmers did a poor job of programming. Those projects became runaways because the estimation targets to which they were being managed were largely unreal to begin with.
