Geburtstag: 20. August 1940
Tom DeMarco ist der Erfinder der Strukturierten Analyse und hat durch seine Beiträge zum Software-Management das Gebiet der Softwaretechnik entscheidend mitgeprägt. Besonders bekannt wurde er durch ein belletristisches Werk: Der Termin – Ein Roman über Projektmanagement. DeMarco steht für die These, dass die entscheidenden Aspekte der Softwareentwicklung menschliche sind, und nicht technische, und dass demzufolge hier die Aufgaben des Managements zu benennen bzw. herauszuarbeiten sind.

"Each of us secretly believes he or she is of below-average intelligence compared to the others, and has to make up for it by trying harder. As we read through a horrible morass of complexity like the RGS spec, our secret doubt makes us believe that all the others who are reading it are understanding what they read." - The Deadline, Dorset House 1997, p. 211
