Random Events in Software Development: Insights from Coin‑Toss Experiments

The article explains how random events such as urgent bug fixes, integration failures, and sudden requirement changes disrupt software development, using a coin‑toss analogy to illustrate statistical principles like binomial distribution and the central limit theorem, and recommends limiting work‑in‑process to manage queue‑induced delays.
