Project Bureaucracy: How to Generate Millions of Jobs without Gaining any Productivity

Jens Coldewey

In today's software development projects still up to 50% of the staff still do coding and other productive work. This means that they are completely under-administrated, there are no resources left for controlling, anti-corruption, political correctness, gender-specific subjects and so on. Careful consideration of all these issues will immediately lead to ten times the employees in every software project. This would solve unemployment in all western countries at once without any manager having to invest only a single second into creative thinking.
