The Cost of Rework No One Talks About
Here’s a number that stopped me cold when I first saw it: 30 to 50 percent of all effort on software projects is spent on rework.
Not building. Not shipping. Redoing work that was already done.
That stat comes from software measurement research that’s been replicated across multiple studies — and yet somehow, it doesn’t come up in sprint planning, or project retrospectives, or any of the conversations where teams talk about why things are taking longer than expected.
