chief programmer team organizations was (c++ vs ada results)

[John McHugh <mchugh@cs.unc.edu>]

The seminal reference on CPTs is:

@Article[Bakertimes,
      Author=<Baker, F. T.>,
      Journal=<IBM Systems Journal>,
      key=<Baker>,
      Title=<Chief Programmer Team Management of Production Programming>,
      Year=<1972>,
      Volume=<11>,
      Number=<1>
]

This provides a more detailed exposition than is given in chapter 3 of
Brooks.  There were a number of other articles and reports during the
1970s.  I used the CPT organization for several programming projects
at NOAA during the early 70's and found it successful when a team with
the proper skills mix could be put together.
