Mythical Man Month

This is continuing to be a problem where I work:

The Mythical Man Month.

If you haven't heard the term, it's the idea that throwing more people at a problem, they will reach the resolution faster.

Stating it like this, just makes it obviously wrong, doesn't it?

Usually, it's a symptom of poor planning for business projects:  throwing more people at a development project, for example, will allow the project to be completed on time.

Usually, the additional man power is added at the end...usually because the project is running late.

Now, what amazes me, is that despite how common this conundrum of the Mythical Man Month is, bosses are STILL COMMITTING THE SAME FALLACIOUS THINKING!

Guess what?!  You're NOT smarter than anyone else.

YOU will NOT overcome the fallacy of the Mythical Man Month.

No one can.

PLEASE, stop being stupid.  Your team is suffering because you're a freakin' moron!

You know that the only way to solve your project timeline problems is to make realistic timelines.

Freakin' morons!
