The MythicalMan-Month: Essays on Software Engineering is a book on softwareengineering and project management by Fred Brooks, whose central themeis that 'adding manpower to a late software project makes it later'.This idea is known as Brooks's law, and is presented along with thesecond-system effect and advocacy of prototyping. Brooks's observationsare based on his experiences at IBM while managing the development ofOS/360. He had mistakenly added more workers to a project falling behindschedule. He also made the mistake of asserting that one projectwriting an Algol compiler - would require six months, regardless of thenumber of workers involved (it required longer). The tendency formanagers to repeat such errors in project development led Brooks to quipthat his book is called 'The Bible of Software Engineering', because'everybody quotes it, some people read it, and a few people go by it.'The book is widely regarded as a classic on the human elements ofsoftware engineering.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 92 pp. Englisch.
