You have read this paper. I guess you feel that it is incomplete, muddled or controversial. It is such while it must be. As I had written I know how to make a ``right'' article. This paper is not an article. This is the first part of the documentation of the project ``ErrorLog''. Of curse this is not a ``right'' documentation. ``ErrorLog'' isn't a ``right'' project too. I'd like to tell you about the history of it.
The goal of this project is to find methods rising effectiveness of the software development in small companies. The first studies showed that the major grounds of ineffectiveness are bad decisions.15
The logical conclusion from such situation was to find methods that can prevent bad decisions. Unfortunately the attempts to discuss such methods with software developers, team leaders and project managers pointed the light on a very interesting problem. For the technical specialists the software management is a look over the back of the developer's head at the computer monitor.16
The ``ErrorLog'' demand quite other point of view. It was started as tool that simple logs the errors. Step by step the human as the source of these errors became more important. Now ``ErrorLog'' is a look at the face of software developer.
The first attempts to write a ``right'' documentation for ``ErrorLog'' failed. The people weren't ready to consider a human, but were seeking for a software tool that can free they from such necessity. On the seek for right form of the documentation I turned the log of errors into The Path of Dragons. Let's see which results can give this trick.
``The Dragons'' are a documentation. It helps you change your mind and move your point of view.17
For several years I used to apply analogous methods. These were things far away from the software. The results of those experiments were good. Let's see what results will be this time.
