The book is in good conditions. There are some minor issues in the cover, but nothing too serious.It was worth paying half price (+shipping).

    How-to for a 5000 Man-Years IT project
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in Germany on 1 October 2019*

Mr. Brooks and his team needed 5000 man years from 1963 to 1966 to create OS/360. Peak head count was 1000 persons. Today we ask the question: was this massive amount of labor necessary? I think so. Today the art of operating systems is much advanced. But at Brooks time, he had to break new ground, fast and in good quality. He and his very large team did write history, like Prof. Corby (Corbató) did with Multics. Next to Brooks law I like his scheduling rule most: 1/3 planning, 1/6 coding, 1/4 component test and early system test and 1/4 system test, all components in hand. In my projects I used the surgeon team, Mill's Proposal. It worked again and again.
