No, read about the Mythical Man Month as to why.
Essentially, it boils down to one woman can make a baby in nine months but three woman cannot make a baby in three months. Adding more people does not always get things done quicker because some things depend on others. You could have 1000 people working on a project but if you only have the bandwidth for 100 people then you have 900 people twiddling their thumbs.
