@sjvn Reminds me of a personal favorite aphorism: "Nine women can't make 1 baby in 1 month."

@Herman @sjvn Is that quote from that book? I first heard it from an electrical engineer friend.

@sjvn @MattMerk Yes it is. One of the best and shortest books about project management. Almost half a century old and still very relevant. Many lessons learned as described in that little book are forgotten and relearned again. Over and over again.

@Herman @sjvn @MattMerk exactly what I was thinking. Probably the first book on project management I ever read.

I love the comment in the Wiki article about this book being the Bible of software engineering because "everybody quotes it, some people read it, and a few people go by it".
