The second problem of Dragon Wars is the fact that Software Dragons aren't absolute. One may describe problems of the same project in his own manner. For instance project members can see The Dragon of Abuse Management. In the contrary management can consider The Dragon of Stupid Employers as the ground of project's difficulties. Unfortunately the strategy of the Dragon War is dependent on the enemy Dragon. In our example the management will attack the employers as servants of the Dragon. The developers will protect themselves from the Dragon of management. As result the development of software will be forgotten. The project becoming the war of Dragons. All power will be spent on intrigues.

The problem of Dragon Wars is the power of the Dragons. Such wars begin where the tangle of problems is too big. Some difficulties may be removed, where the complexity of other grows. As in fairy tales the hero killed dragon become the new dragon. No magical transformations are reasonable to be planed. Any change can bring only about 10 per cent improvement.¹⁴

It is complex, expensive and improbable to win a war against big and powerful Dragons. Only possible method is to avoid the necessity of such wars.
