+	[IMG: "Size/Effort Curve]
+
+
+
+***
+Problems
+
+  * The large variability in productivity assessment - as a consequence of many
+  different contributing factors - can make it difficult to find the
+  Size/Complexity Dynamic withing raw data.
+
+  * The common practice of using logarithmic scales may obscure the non-linear
+  nature of the data.
+
+
+
+***
+Visualization: Effectiveness of SW Engineering Methods
+
+	[IMG: "Show Method1/Method2 Curve]
+
+  => So it is clearly visible that choice of technologies, working style, etc.
+  may depend on the nature and complexity of the problem to be solved.
+
+
+
+***
+Compositing Engineering Methods
+
+  * Because different methods may excel at different problems or problem sizes
+  some organizations try to combine methods.
+
+  => Pattern 3 (Steering) managers will readily use a toolkit of engineering
+  methods.
+	
+  => Managers in a "blaming environment" will rather stick to one "standard"
+  way of doing things, so they cannot be blamed for making the wrong choice.
+
+
+
+***
+Considering Risk Management
+
+  * Different methods will have different risk levels, meaning the probability
+  of success will differ depending on problem size.
+
+  * The risk rate doesn't say anything about the cost.
+
+  * Human beings learn: the success rate of a method will increase, when applied
+  multiple times.
+
+
+***
+The Threat of Change
+
+  * Managers may choose not to implement new methodologies in order to not
+  jeopardize their careers.
+
+  Solutions:
+
+  => Move decisions to a higher management level
+
+  => Run a pilot project at minimal size
+
+  => Try to reduce the criticality of the very first project
+
+
+
+***
+Helpful Interactions
+
+  1. Tackle variability by bringing all the dynamics that are part of the
+  engineering process under control one by one (using Intervention Dynamics).
+
+  The Helpful Model
+
+  2. Realize that different people develop different models to measure and
+  control a situation, leading to potentially very different results.
+
+  => "No matter how it looks, everybody is trying to be helpful."
+
+
+
+***
+Helpful Interactions
+
+  1. It's hard to erase existing ineffective behavioral patterns.
+  
+  => Try not to erase them, but instead add new patterns that are more
+  effective, ultimately overlaying the original patterns.
+
+  Variation:
+
+  2. It's hard to change someone's perception of reality.
+
+  => Propagate adoption of new models of thinking to open people's eyes.
