McCabe's Law

McCabe's Law states that as the amount of knowledge in a system increases, the amount of necessary communication increases exponentially. In simpler terms, when a group or organization accumulates more information or expertise, the need for individuals to share and coordinate that knowledge also grows significantly. This can lead to challenges in effective communication and decision-making. McCabe's Law highlights the importance of having clear communication channels and systems in place to manage increasing complexity as knowledge expands.
