Software Development Laws

Software Development Laws Conway's Law  - This law states that the organizational structure of the development team reflects in the code. Hierarchical organizational structure that are rigid can result in the poor architecture and code that would result in software that is too costly and hard to maintain. Humphrey's Law  - This law states that the users do not know the requirement until they see the software. User says "I Know It When I See It" (IKIWISI).
