The reason I've been studying extreme programming is my latest goal in
life is to disprove the mythical man month. The mythical man month is a
book that was written back in 1974 that explains that adding more
manpower to a project does not linearly make the project go faster.
I think with the combination of the concepts we've all come up with in
this Fusebox community and the ideas the extreme programming community
has come up with along with a handful of management tools, I think it
could be possible to break free of the mythical man month.
