If you think software development can be a collaborative creative process, it’s really not a terrible analogy.

  This analogy sucks because a rock band cannot make songs without actually playing together over and over again. You can however build software in modules or independent parts as long as you have clear specs about what each part should do and proper testing. Thats why you can outsource some software dev but you cannot outsource a rock band. Terrible analogy. If you want to pick something that makes more sense to compare, it would be something that is engineering related.
