What concept is 'Peopleware' attempting to combat in software project management?

Using people as replaceable components of a machine
Ignoring the human aspect of software development
Reliance solely on Extreme Programming techniques
Focusing too much on the design phase

The correct answer is: Using people as replaceable components of a machine

"Peopleware" is a term used to describe the human aspect of software development, specifically the recognition that individuals and the interactions between them are essential for the success of a project. This concept is attempting to combat the use of people as replaceable components in a machine-like manner, where the focus is solely on their ability to perform tasks rather than their individual strengths and contributions. Option B is incorrect because it is a similar concept to "Peopleware" and therefore not the specific issue that it is combating. Option C is incorrect because "Peopleware" does not necessarily discount the use of Extreme Programming techniques, but rather advocates for a balanced approach that considers both people and processes. Option D is incorrect because "Peopleware" does not necessarily promote a specific phase of software development, but rather emphasizes the importance of the human aspect throughout the entire project.
