Link: an engineering management hack
Engineering Management Hacks: The BigBook Technique is an amusing story of how a group of engineers got their management to pay attention to Brooks's Law ("Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later"). I won't spoil the punchline; read it yourself.
Around here we don't have problems with Brooks's Law, perhaps because we don't have the extra manpower to add to late projects to start with.
