Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. – Cyril Parkinson, 1955
- Hyrum’s Law

- Conway’s Law
Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization’s communication structure. – Melvin Conway, 1968
- Brook’s Law
Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later. – Fred Brooks, 1995
- Clarke’s three laws
When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. – Arthur C. Clarke , 1968
