Analysis ParalysisAnalysis paralysis is an informal phrase applied to when the opportunity cost of decision analysis exceeds the benefits. Analysis paralysis applies to any situation where analysis may be applied to help make a decision and may be a dysfunctional element of organizational behavior. Software development In software development, analysis paralysis manifests itself through an exceedingly long phases of project planning, requirements gathering, program design and modeling, with little or no extra value created by those steps. Analysis paralysis tends to emphasize the organizational (bureaucratic) aspect of the software project, while detracting from its functional (value-creating) portion. Analysis paralysis occurs often due to the lack of experience on the part of business systems analysts/project managers/developers, as well as rigid and formal organizational culture. Analysis paralysis is an example of an anti-pattern.
