Which once of the following is not a software myth ?

  • A.Once we write the program and get it to work, our job is done.
  • B.Project requirements continually change, but change can be easily accommodated because software is flexible.
  • C.If we get behind schedule, we can add more programmers and catch up.
  • D.If an organization does not understand how to control software projects internally, it will invariably struggle when it outsources software projects.

Answer: D

The statement that an organization which cannot control software projects internally will struggle when it outsources them is not a myth. It is a fact: outsourcing does not remove management problems. The other three are classic myths: that the job is done once the program works, that changing requirements are easily absorbed because software is flexible, and that adding programmers to a late project catches it up (Brooks's law says the opposite).
