Ask HN: Falsehoods project managers believe about time?
Inspired by this: http://infiniteundo.com/post/25326999628/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-time
but for PMs
- tmaly 10y agoI think there is still a disconnect between management and programming. Making changes to a large program seem trivial to management while it might be a daunting tasks for programmers as it may fundamentally change the overall design on the program. Have you read the book Mythical Man-Month ? Its a good read on the subject of time and management.
- rudolfosman 10y agoYes, I've read it, it's a classic. I'm trying to formulate your comment into a "falsehood" PMs believe: "A very small change to a large program takes very little time." or sth.
