The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering
Description
Drawing on his leadership of IBM’s System/360 and OS/360 projects, Frederick P. Brooks examines why large software efforts so often fall behind schedule, exceed budgets, and struggle with complexity. Through incisive essays, he explores project planning, communication, staffing, conceptual integrity, and the limits of adding people to a late project. This expanded edition revisits the original arguments with new reflections and updates, offering enduring lessons for software engineers, project managers, and technology leaders. Both practical and provocative, the book remains a landmark study of the human and organizational challenges behind successful software development.
