Editor's Notes
- You want that colon there? You need a subtitle? “You Don’t Get Three Guesses”?
- 40 people on 3 cntinents projects
- Estimate, Target or Commitment estimate: 1. A tentative evaluation or rough calculation. 2. A preliminary calculation of the cost of a project. 3. A judgment based upon one’s impressions; opinion.McConnell, Steve (2009-11-30). Software Estimation: Demystifying the Black Art: Demystifying the Black Art (Best Practices (Microsoft)) (Kindle Locations 324-325). OReilly Media - A. Kindle Edition.
- Points here are: Estimates are inexact People don’t like doing them
- Benefits of estimating – planning, people are happier, less heroics, happier customers
- If life were fair you would have an equal chance
- Um, not fair the truth is that for most projects, final project will be to the right of the curve
- Percentages at beginning range is 16x. As you get closer to the project – more certainty
- Projects that are highly structured can be estimated with a high degree of confidence. Those that are not. McDonalds hamburger – highly structured
- Can refer to: Requirements, team sponsors, Business outcomes, “not defining” Done
- Is this supposed to be a spreadsheet?
- Bullets look weird
- Do you mean the word “features” in the second bullet? So you want to translate “features” into “features”? Consider a different word to bring home the translation message.
- WBS? What is it? Obviously this needs formatting improvement. Consider putting on two pages and putting the pic below the turquoise header. Second page can be titled “WBS, Continued”
