Frederick Brooks in his 1975 book The Mythical Man-month contends that adding more people to a behind-schedule project doesn't actually speed it up. On the contrary, ramping up resources adds up to the communication complexity (an overhead in fact) within the development group. This is because inducting new people involves a certain amount of time and resources to orient before they can be deployed for production. Weaning away time and resources from the project towards trainings / orientation results in further delay.
