The broken windows theory or “Why some projects are just destined to suck”
In a new post on his blog, my favorite stalwart of the industry Frederick Vanbrabant, gives a explanation on why some projects turn into a big mess and how you can avoid it.
I truly believe that the broken window theory can be applied to software projects. In my personal experiences I’ve rarely seen a project start out as a total mess. If it ended up as a mess, it was gradually. I also believe that this is not necessary the fault of developers working on the project, think of it more as frogs in a pot with gradually increased temperature of water. One morning you just wake up and take a look at the project and realise that it has gotten really messy.
