To facilitate the knowledge and detection of software project management anti-patterns, as commonly occurring solutions with known negative effects, we provide this catalogue. It is an on-going project with the aim to to create a space where others can contribute and thus together we can reconcile the various sources and foster community discussion on understanding and descriptions of the individual anti-patterns. So feel free to fork this repository and send us pull requests when you have something to contribute.
The catalogue proper, including the template used in anti-pattern description.
Literature and online sources used to gather the anti-patterns.
The original contents of the catalogue (as of 2019) is based on a review of academic, professional and grey literature sources to collect the currently known and defined software PM anti-patterns. It uses a description template designed to support data-driven detection of anti-pattern occurrence, e.g. using our SPADe toolset.
