That's just a classic software development book. What makes its lessons scientific fact?
Also, it's about a singular project that's late.
Not necessarily applicable to dozens of projects with understuffed teams. Adding people to such teams to help, and assigning new people to look and fix bugs nobody cares about now because they're overworked on some "flagship" new features, is a different case.
