They fully subscribed to the mythical man month. So they just threw bodies at it and then couldn’t understand why the project got slower.
I don’t understand your statement. The Mythical Man Month teaches exactly that lesson of more bodies != Faster in many cases.
How long to build the site with 1 full stack dev? 1.5 years.
How long with an existing high performance team of 5? 2 months.
How long if you hire 4 plus the one original (all qualified)? 1 to 1.5 years.
How long if we hire 30 full stack devs? Maybe never.
Poorly worded on my part.
They fully bought into the idea of the man-month without realising it was mythical.
You know? I literally figured that out a minute before I saw your reply. And I rolled my eyes at myself.
That makes sense. Silly me
Cheers
