It's like every generation is determined to re-learn the Mythical Man Month - the hard way. You crack it open and boom, there is your anti-pattern right there, called "Brooke's Law".
- theptip 5y agoMMM was making a different claim. “Adding people to a project that is late will make the project more late.” This is taking about the best way to minimize growing pains, assuming you want to grow your org. > To spread hiring equally across the teams in need, or to focus hiring on just one or two teams until their needs were fully staffed? That was the question. It’s not claiming that adding people will make the current project ship faster. It’s claiming that focusing hiring people to underperforming teams will eventually buy them the slack they need to start fixing their issues and increase their velocity in the future, and that you get less total disruption by hiring many people into one team than by hiring one person onto many teams.
