The Mythical Man-Month
Essays on Software Engineering
Book • 1975
In this book, Frederick P. Brooks discusses several key issues in software engineering, most notably 'Brooks's Law,' which states that adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.
The book explores the complexities of large programming projects, the difficulties in measuring work in 'man-months,' and the importance of effective communication and team management.
It also includes insights from Brooks's experience managing the development of IBM's System/360 and OS/360.
