   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.
