Mythbusting Software Estimation
In the world of software development, estimation challenges exist on multiple fronts. Teams are faced with estimating value, cost, and/or schedule at the task, story, project, and/or portfolio level. There are some agile practices that claim to help with estimation, including not doing estimation at all, but still many agile projects are challenged.
Some of the myths that will be explored include:
- Historical Estimation Accuracy
- Relative Estimation
- The Cone of Uncertainty
- Velocity
- Scope Creep
- Wisdom of Crowds
