Unfortunately, the objects of this telephone game are generally considered cornerstone truths of the discipline, to the point that their acceptance now seems to hinder further progress. This book takes a look at some of those \"ground truths\" the claimed 10x variation in productivity between developers; the \"software crisis\"; the cost-of-change curve; the \"cone of uncertainty\"; and more. It assesses the real weight of the evidence behind these ideas - and confronts the scary prospect of moving the state of the art forward in a discipline that has had the ground kicked from under it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 196\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 28, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52492968165683,"sku":"9782954745503","price":61.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/YnFXYmYzMlBGdFFGQkRHTXA3bEJoZz09.webp?v=1759946389","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-leprechauns-of-software-engineering-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
