Mythical Man Month & Peopleware are my favorites for organizational management of engineering groups.

And I even nano-blogged about it so future generations will know my preference: https://www.bi6.us/content/nano/week_20250413.html#/20250419

loved it, specially the cadence, seems like you really got the machine running. eg: i see lots of post in 2025!

oh thank you so much. i've heard a lot about mythical man month, i'll try to rent it at the local library. thanks :)
