Abstract: Half of a century has gone by yet software crisis endure. Many have thought that its Achilles heel is in the ways of constructing software or in the ways of managing the software construction or both thus they attack it vigorously without reserve like Hercules whacking off the Hydra’s heads. This paper instead casted an eye on the communication among the software construction team members by first dissecting it into six levels of complexity from individual to Internet communication. Secondly communication was tackled mathematically and the formulas have been further simplified to some rules of thumb.
