Mythical man-month - this is a short book written dozens of years ago but from my opinion it is timeless.

  Not sure why you were downvoted. Parts of the book are indeed timeless! My favorite but is the idea that out of the jumble of documents produced, a few emerge as the pivot around which the majority of the team’s communication revolves. I’ve seen very effective project leads use this to great effect. Rather than robotically using boilerplate document templates they discover the most precise format for the project at hand.

    True, but it's not empirical research.

  But is that an empirical paper?

  On this topic, Peopleware as well. It references a lot of studies and is extremely well researched.
