Software development is not like digging a ditch.

 It is not - it is several orders of magnitude more complex.
 But the reason there are project teams of different sizes
(10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000 ...) is not that management
is incompetent and no size deliver faster than 10 - it is
because with proper planning it is actually possible to
spread out work.
 It is not easy, but good project managers, good architects
and good tech leads can do it.
 

If 10 men can complete a project in 10 days how long will it take
20 men?
Obviously 20 days and there is very little likelihood either will
actually be successful.
Believe it or  not, sometimes the right number of men for a project
is one.
