[[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.
