185: Mythical Man-Month: The Second System Effect

from Explicit Measures Podcast Hosted by PowerBI.Tips

Mike, Seth, & Tommy dive back into the Mythical Man-Month series and tackle the idea of the Second System Effect and how it relates to Power BI development. The Second System Effect is the tendency for a developer to "err on the side of over embellishment when planning their second project". This usually occurs when small, elegant, and successful systems can become over-developed and bloated due to inflated expectations and overconfidence. How does this relate to our development and report lifecycle?
