I guess the proper "modern management" answer would be:
Quote: "Downsize three of them to scare the other two into working harder, then outsource the production to China, grab your bonus, exercise your stock options on the uptick, and flee the scene before it all falls down around your ears."

22 days.
If it takes 10 men 10 days then it takes 100 man days to do 100% of the work.
So 1 man day = 1% of the work.
5 men = 5% per of the work per day so it will take 20 days to do 100% of the work
1 day for planning and 1 day for a retrospective every two weeks so 14 days man days are required for 12 man days of progress, so the final result is 22 days.

Is it catch 22 or you would sign a contract on it?

I would like to invite all software developers to take part in my survey. Target group: developers working in a team that is developing software commercially.
I would be very grateful for your participation as well as the transfer of the survey to your friends. Please do not forward it to your own team members, so I only get one statement per team.
The survey:
https://survey.uni-hannover.de/index.php/694456/lang-en
(choose english or german version)
Thank you!
Hendrik Leßmann

Hendrik, first of all, welcome to Code Project. It's exciting isn't it, first day on the site and you're already posting in the Lounge?
A couple of things - I see that you have posted twice here but only one is showing. Just to reassure you about what's happened - the spam filter kicks in on posts with links and, as a new user, your posts will be picked up to check. This is nothing to worry about as posts go to a moderation queue which the more active site members check with some regularity (please remember that we're all volunteers so it may take a little while to get to). If we think something isn't spam, we'll approve it so that it gets shown.
I appreciate that you are interested in answers from developers here but there are some things you will need to consider. The first problem is that you haven't told us what your survey actually is, how long it is, or what the purpose is for your thesis. The next problem; as you can imagine, this is generally a very active forum and surveys come up from time to time, which could well increase in frequency if we become known as a site where the members answer surveys. We generally lead very busy lives and come to the Lounge to kick back.
Unfortunately, the fact that you are a new member here counts against you. It could well be that this is the first time you have heard of Code Project and that you just happened to have a survey that you wanted to answer on the day you joined. It does look, however, like you joined the site for the express purpose of getting us to answer this survey. As you can probably appreciate, that's not guaranteed to get on our good side as there's little indication from this that you are likely to stick around Code Project to help out writing articles or answering questions (or even asking well thought out questions which can be just as valuable). I also find it a touch offputting that you posted your question and then haven't stuck around to comment on the replies; this doesn't say that you are very interested in participating on the site so you can't be surprised if we don't go out of our way for you.
I wish you well in your thesis but, as it currently stands, I won't be taking part in your survey.

I agree - way too long. I'd rather answer that German kid's survey than read Pete's gigantic comment.

Are they at least multiple choice, preferably with a auto-fill button?

You got the message wrong
Hendrik Leßmann wrote: And i also can image that when you studied someone helped you out.
You got the message wrong. He is really helping you.
Hendrik Leßmann wrote: Maybe your son will register in 20 years and my daughter will help him, without blaming him.
Definitively... you got the message totally wrong
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I think in these case you can be more direct and tell OP that he got the message wrong... Don't be 'bleeding heart' too much...

Whoah I didn't realise this was a possible reward. Let me go fill out your survey and then we can discuss your daughter.

I filled in the survey, so beware your stats are going to be skewed.
A few comments:
Do you use code reviews or have used it previously?
There is no option for "I have introduced code reviews" which is what happened here.
What is the main business of your team?
What do you mean by "standard software?"
How is the software development process in your team done?
Agile software development process (software development takes place with few rules, mostly iterative and with little bureaucratic effort).
Your definition of Agile is amusing.
Is your team striving towards short-term or long-term success of the product?
What the heck does that mean? Why would anyone choose short-term success?
Have you made personal experiences to negative effects of code reviews?
Awkward working -- "have you had negative experiences with code reviews?" perhaps is better.
What is the handling of errors (such as mistakes in planning or thinking) in your team?
Consider: "How are errors handled by your team?"
Supervisors pass on guilt of their own mistakes to other employees.
I think you mean "Supervisors blame other employees for the supervisor's mistakes" ???
Some general comments:
When my gf did her masters thesis in psychology, she did a survey on nutrition. Doing a survey is part science, part art. It's important to ask a question both in the positive and in the negative, for example: "Do you consider yourself skilled at writing surveys" and later on, another question "Is writing surveys one of your weaker points." It's really hard to come up with a good balance of positive and negative questions, and to ensure if the negative questions are truly the opposite.
Some things I'm surprised you didn't ask, such as some statistics about the survey taker -- their age, # of years of experience in their field, perhaps even what their field is, and what their favorite programming language and OS is. It would be fascinating to cross-reference the answers with language/OS skills.
Anyways, I'd be interested in seeing the results, but having helped my gf put together a survey that had some hope in hell of being statistically meaningful, which of course also had a lot of involvement with her adviser and her learning some of the fundamentals of statistical analysis, I (apologies in advance) really think your survey needs some fine tuning.
