The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering is a book on software engineering and project management by Fred Brooks first published in 1975, with subsequent editions in 1982 and 1995. Its central theme is that “adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.” This idea is known as Brooks’s law, and is presented along with the second-system effect and advocacy of prototyping.
