Parkinson's Law and Bikeshed Bureaucracy

Category: Software DevelopmentPhil @ 8:45 pm

I was doing some research on Subversion the other day and found an interesting item on the FAQ about a bike shed. The gist of the article is that it is easier to get approval to build an atomic power plant than build a bike shed. It is a pretty good read about bureaucracy.

So, if you like Dilbert, you will relate to Parkinson’s Laws. Amazingly, these laws were written almost 40 years ago… and seem to be in full force today!

Enjoy!
