Question

​brooke's law states that adding more people to a late project makes the project​ ________.

Answer 1

Later.

Because:

1. it takes time for the new people on the project to "ramp up" before they can become productive.

2. more people working on the project add complexity to project management, communication, coordination, etc.

3. not all tasks can be optimally divided between multiple workers, there is a minimum point they cannotbe divided beyond.

Brooke's law is similar to the law of diminishing returns.
