布鲁克斯定律早已被广泛认可。
杰拉尔德·温伯格在其经典著作《程序开发心理学》中对布鲁克斯定律作出了颇具后见之名的重要修正。
Gerald Weinberg's classic The Psychology of Computer Programming supplied what, in hindsight, we can see as a vital correction to Brooks.
通俗的讲，布鲁克斯定律昭示了：项目的复杂度和通讯成本会以开发人数为基础，呈现平方指数的增长态势，而绩效则仅能直线上升。
More generally, Brooks's Law predicts that the complexity and communication costs of a project rise with the square of the number of developers, while work done only rises linearly.
