My favorite quote on adding manpower to a project (I think it may also be from "The Mythical Man Month", which is a great book): "Nine women cannot make a baby in one month."

<My favorite line - "Adding more people to an already late project makes it later" - which is the point you made.> My favorite from "Rise and Resurrection of the American Programmer" was the flip side of this - at Wang if a project was behind schedule they would halve the programmers working on it. Four months later, if it was still behind schedule, they would do it again. :-)
