Step 54: The Longevity of Interim Solutions ~ Klaus Marquardt

This is the 54th Step towards gaining the Programming Enlightenment series. If you didn’t learn the 53rd Step, read it.

What is Interim Solutions?

In every project there will be need of some temporary solution to fix release critical bug or some missing functionality. This solution, an interim one, is thought to be considered a draft to be changed sometime, which doesn’t adhere to the standards and guidelines.

What is longevity of Interim Solutions?

Because it solves the problem, it becomes widely accepted and there is no change to be made immediately, it stays there. It doesn’t carry any weight hence, during following work timelines, it gathers dust and other valuable tasks are accomplished. So, the interim solution remains in place. Forever.

Is Interim Solution a problem?

The problem with interim solution grows as the system starts to contain too many interim solutions. The entropy or internal complexity grows and its maintainability decreases.

What to do to if we see a problem?

We can apply the following approach:

  • Avoid creating an interim solution in the first place.
  • Change the forces that influence the decision of the project manager.
  • Leave it as is.
May you be granted the serenity to accept the things you cannot change, courage to change the things you can, and wisdom to know the difference.

TL;DR Avoid interim solution, unless it is unavoidable.
