    Mythical Man Month and Peopleware both deal with managing work: estimating work, problem of quality, feature creep. Agile offers methods to address these same problems, just a little more evolved, imho. * working in sprints forces estimations over smaller pieces of work (aim small, miss small). * sprints, in my experience, challenge feature creep. teams are much more aware of time and challenge anyone making changes to scope. nothing is free. * teams are responsible for dev and testing (e2e); no throwing crap over the wall. These books deal with more than these topics. btw, the quiet room for 2-3 people as described in Peopleware is being thrown out where i work. walls are being torn down to build team collaboration spaces. times have changed.
