Recently I came across a pretty interesting term called Bus Factor in a software project.
According to Wikipedia,the bus factor is the total number of key developers who would need to be incapacitated, (as by getting hit by a bus) to send the project into such disarray that it would not be able to proceed.
Obviously,for project managers,its important to increase the Bus Factor as much as possible....and for developers (like me) its important to try to keep it as low as possible :) .
