Inspired by Actual Events: Book Review: The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering, Anniversary Edition

Frederick P. Brooks, Jr.'s The Mythical Man-Month (MM-M) is one of the most famous books in all of software development literature and is arguably THE most famous book on software development management. There are already innumerable reviews of this classic, but I review it again in this post for those software developers who have not read it and want a small overview of what's to like about it. After all, it is PC World's #1 title in the list of Top Ten IT Books Never To Admit You Haven't Read. The full title of the edition I am reviewing in this post is The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering, Anniversary Edition.
