I've seen software engineering initiatives where the decision process was positively Brownian. Participants darting first in one direction, and then just as unpredictably vectoring off in a completely different random direction.
Of course I've also enjoyed watching the "Keystone Kops" software engineering methodology. Hugely entertaining, but not much more effective than the purely random method at the end of the day. It would be interesting to learn how many software initiatives world-wide fail in their first few years. --Doug On Thu, Jun 3, 2010 at 5:15 PM, Grant Holland <[email protected]>wrote: > > I submit that the software engineering is far from a "chance alone" > endeavor. > >
