First law of thermodynamicsFirst law of thermodynamicsFirst law of thermodynamicsFirst law of thermodynamics
■ Conservation of energy
■ Add heat to a system=> increase internal energy plus work done on surrounding
PM-Day 2012 Dr. A. Kramer
■ steam cooker ■ mainly increased internal energy
■ steam engine ■ mainly work done

■ Add “heat” to increase work performed by a team���� increase pressure���� control more closely☺☺☺☺ motivate
PM-Day 2012 Dr. A. Kramer
■ Gallup survey■ good managers are champions in motivation■ they motivate individually

■ adding “heat” does not necessarily increase work■ could be “internal energy”
■ time pressure, overdue working hours■ increases friction between team members
PM-Day 2012 Dr. A. Kramer
■ increases friction between team members� people get sensitive� start finger pointing
■ main task of a project manager■ avoid undesirable side effects of stress

■ Project managers should not code…■ …nor write product documentation
■ If they do “work” they can no longer add “heat”.
PM-Day 2012 Dr. A. Kramer
■ If they do “work” they can no longer add “heat”.■ loss of “bird’s perspective”=> difficult to steer in right direction

■ Entropy never decreases■ Things do not break spontaneously apart.■ All systems tend to maximum entropy.
PM-Day 2012 Dr. A. Kramer
■ Best case is zero change in entropy■ isoentropic system■ only possible for isolated systems

■ Possible mapping ■ Low entropy = high level processes
■ Consequences■ Teams will not spontaneously become more efficient.
PM-Day 2012 Dr. A. Kramer
■ Teams will not spontaneously become more efficient.■ Processes that are not controlled will be neglected.■ Best we can expect without project management is no
deterioration.=> only for isolated systems

■ Isolated systems in SW development do not exist!■ customer, suppliers, end users, …■ directives from holding
■ Quasi-isolated system
PM-Day 2012 Dr. A. Kramer
■ Quasi-isolated system■ service-oriented business architecture
� definition of IT services� portfolio of a service provider = SOA platform� embedded in SOA lifecycle management
■ clear interfaces■ independent from IT applications or templates

■ Thermodynamics■ It is impossible to reach zero temperature.
■ Project management
PM-Day 2012 Dr. A. Kramer
■ Project management■ There is no perfect process.

■ Thermodynamics■ All systems tend to equilibrium.
� e.g. open fridge
■ Project management
PM-Day 2012 Dr. A. Kramer
■ Project management■ The team tends to equilibrium process maturity.
� e.g. freshmen and CMMI 5
