Listen "#160: Revisiting Software Development Estimation"
Episode Synopsis
I've long held the belief that Estimation is the source of much dysfunction within Software Development.
However, with a New Year, I'll like to take this as an opportunity to revisit my strong opinions on the subject - are they still valid? Are there better ways?
In this episode I recap the understandable desire for Software Development Estimations, why I feel that its a source of so much dysfunction and my plan for the coming year to test and challenge my opinions.
