The Mythical Man-Month strikes back: why throwing bodies at cloud migrations still fails in 2026
Fred Brooks told us in 1975 that adding people to a late software project makes it later. Fifty years on, we are relearning that lesson, this time with AI copilots and aggressive migration timelines. Executives see a Copilot demo and assume migration velocity is solved. It is not. AI accelerates the easy 60%. The hard 40% is tribal knowledge, undocumented rules, and stakeholder complexity. No copilot fixes that.
