Abstract
This paper discusses Brooks’
The Mythical Man-Month, a landmark work in the software project management field, and compares the software project management advice given there with practices employed some 25
years later. To find out the state of today's practice 20 experienced software developers were interviewed regarding their impressions of factors leading to success or failure of software development projects. Their observations are compared with the points raised by Brooks in his seminal work.
