SAs an early user (as a FORTRAN 77 developer on Software Intensive System of Systems for Ballistic Missle Defense systems), the principles of Iterative and incremental development, emergent requirements, customer in the loop , and other principles, practices, and processes found in Agile started long before the Agile Manifesto.

So here are some books, handbooks, and guides that sit on my shelf that are used pretty much all the time on the Software Intensive System of Systems we work on. But when some statement is made about risk, estimating, performance modeling, or the like - always ask for references. I'm not expecting anyone to read all these books.

I've seen estimates abused by bad managers, so let's NOT estimate and that will fix the behavior of Bad Managers." While the human behaviors are real and observable, conjecturing that decisions can be made in the presence of uncertainty without estimating the outcome of those decisions, there is no principle to support that conjecture.

Estimation is part of project management. . The most important estimates for the project manager are related to time and cost. . Since it is easier to estimate small tasks, these estimates are often calculated and performed as point estimates, for example, a task will take 3 days. My proposal is don't estimate.

And during the 2007 and 2003 versions, we got a new way of creating reports. And please take note that we have resources in here, we have estimated work, we have duration, we have some completed tasks. And let’s see that live in action, where I click on new, and I click on for instance, a software development plan.

So again, part of that Agile discipline is to help the teams be focused, to help them estimate and learn because in many cases, they’ve never done this work before. I can kind of plan and estimate. What’s deeper estimates?” We can sit here, we can build these all day long. I got prioritization.
