About this book

Frederick P. Brooks Jr. examines the difficulties of organizing large software projects through experience in programming management. His essays consider how software work resembles other collaborative undertakings and where it differs. Discussions of productivity challenge the expectation that a single technical advance can resolve the persistent problems of planning, coordination and managing complex programming efforts.

Frederick P. Brooks Jr.

Brooks ran the development of IBM's System/360 operating system, watched it fall years behind while adding staff made it later still, and wrote The Mythical Man-Month out of the wreckage. Adding people to a late software project makes it later: that is Brooks's law and it has not stopped being true.
