Listen "#189: Estimation - a review"
Episode Synopsis
Back in January 2023, in episode #160, "Revisiting
Software Development Estimation," I made the commitment to revisit and potentially revise my views on software development estimation.
While I acknowledged the desirability of estimations for reasons like cost, risk, and planning, the episode recognized that these desires don't always make estimations attainable or accurate, particularly in complex or complicated domains like software development.
In 2023, I planned to research estimation techniques, focusing on their feasibility and implications in the software development process. This research would involve exploring resources such as online courses, books, and audience suggestions, with the intention of sharing findings later in the year.
This is the first, if somewhat delayed, in a series of episodes following that work.
In this episode I will provide a summary of upcoming episodes and how they fit together.
