[Verse 1]
Sarah leads a team of five, project deadline's getting near
Every member needs to talk, communication must be clear
But she's wondering how many channels form between them all
There's a formula to find it, let me teach you how to call
[Chorus]
N times N minus one, then divide by two
That's the magic formula for channels coming through
More people means more paths, connections multiply
N times N minus one, divided by two, that's how we fly
[Verse 2]
Start with team size, call it N, that's our number to begin
Take that N and multiply by N minus one within
Sarah's got five people so that's five times four makes twenty
Divide that sum by two and you get ten channels plenty
[Chorus]
N times N minus one, then divide by two
That's the magic formula for channels coming through
More people means more paths, connections multiply
N times N minus one, divided by two, that's how we fly
[Bridge]
Two people, just one channel, simple conversation flow
Three people, three channels now, complexity starts to grow
Four people, six channels total, getting hard to track
Eight people, twenty-eight channels, communication's packed
[Verse 3]
Every person talks to others, but not themselves you see
That's why we subtract the one, it's basic PMP
Project managers must know this, plan for information flow
Underestimate the channels and your project's bound to slow
[Chorus]
N times N minus one, then divide by two
That's the magic formula for channels coming through
More people means more paths, connections multiply
N times N minus one, divided by two, that's how we fly
[Outro]
Communication channels, now you know the way
Use this formula wisely, pass your PMP today
