Few books on software project management have been as influential and timeless as The Mythical Man-Month. With a blend of software engineering facts and thought-provoking opinions, Fred Brooks offers insight for anyone managing complex projects. These essays draw from his experience as project manager for the IBM System/360 computer family and then for OS/360, its massive software system. Now, 20 years after the initial publication of his book, Brooks has revisited his original ideas and added new thoughts and advice, both for readers already familiar with his work and for readers discovering it for the first time. The added chapters contain (1) a crisp condensation of all the propositions asserted in the original book, including Brooks' central argument in The Mythical Man-Month: that large programming projects suffer management problems different from small ones due to the division of lab∨ that the conceptual integrity of the product is therefore critical; and that it is difficult but possible to achieve this unity; (2) Brooks' view of these propositions a generation later; (3) a reprint of his classic 1986 paper "No Silver Bullet"; and (4) today's thoughts on the 1986 assertion, "There will be no silver bullet within ten years."… (altro)

Excellent Project Management Theory

Fred Brooks was a software engineer at IBM for some decades and later chair of the UNC CS department. His experience and study makes this recounting invaluable. I felt like I highlighted a sentence on every other page. You must get the second edition and if you read nothing else in it (though it is a short book), you must read the 18th and 19th chapters. The 18th chapter is a summary of all prior chapters while the 19th chapter reflects on the book 20 years later in 1995 -- what changed and what hadn't. (

Good start, loses some insight later on due to age. Overall I liked it. (

Very good. Another one of those pretty amazing books that has relevance far beyond it's specific scope and time. Some of the chapters were also interesting just as a window into the big issues, challenges and concerns that have since been completely overcome.

The part that really most interested me was about the productivity of the great being ~ an order of magnitude better than even the good, and on top of that the fact that adding people has far from a linear impact. It's all about the right people.

Might have been a useful read 20 years ago, but any pm of more then a couple of years experience and worth a fraction of his salary should be already aware of the major points in this book. (
