Brooks's law is an observation about software project management that "Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later."[1][2] It was coined by Fred Brooks in his 1975 book The Mythical Man-Month. According to Brooks, under certain conditions, an incremental person when added to a project makes it take more, not less time.
