Few books on project management can be described as significant as The Mythical Man-Month. The mix of real-world software development examples, opinions, and reflections creates a vivid picture of managing complex projects. These essays are based on Brooks' fifty years of experience as a project manager for IBM System/360 and then OS/360. The first edition of the book was published 45 years ago, the second 25 years ago. New methodologies emerge, new programming languages appear, and the number of processors grows, but this book continues to be relevant. Why? Half a century later, we continue to repeat the mistakes Brooks described. Some of the topics raised in the book seem outdated, but this is only an appearance. The fundamental issues behind them are still as relevant today. It is important to know your past in order to understand where the software development industry is going. That's why, 45 years later, that's why we're reading Brooks. A lot has changed in the world, but nine women still can't carry a baby in one month.
