Software Entropy: A Practical Approach
Have you ever wondered what Software Entropy was or how it affects you? Or maybe you're working on a project that seems hopelessly doomed to failure, but you can't explain why?
In this booklet, we will explore the nature of software entropy. We'll examine how it manifests, and - if left unchecked - why it inevitably cripples software development. In addition, we will define a framework that allows us to ultimately assign it a concrete value. It is only when we can definitively measure the amount of entropy in a project that we are truly able to make effective, rational decisions about the challenges posed by its extent.
If you are a developer, an IT manager, or anyone else simply curious about the chaos that pervades the life of commercial and open-source software products, then this is the booklet for you.
