In software development, those managing the project have some understanding the market forces (from their marketing departments), the technology (from their engineering department), and how to manage in the presence of Aleatory and Epistemic risk (the managers running a successful firm). Software projects are non-ergodic.

Performance Measurement Baseline. This creates a point of comparison of all the other baselines to evaluate project performance. GERT stands for ‘Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique’. Experts make different estimates individually and review them together in a group before arriving at a final set of estimates.

When we hear of the difficulties of making decisions in the presence of uncertainty, especially about software features and capabilities, there are straightforward ways to solve this problem. In our agile software development world, AHP is rarely found. Mathematically, the value equals performance over cost plus time.

Shipping on time, to specifications, and within budget might be meaningless if a competitor is shipping software that has a greater value to the market. Landmark’s measure of success over these three years had much more to do with customer satisfaction and market share than with meeting knowingly aggressive targets. Wallshein, Ph.D.

Or ANY software project for that matter. In the project domain, an estimate is a calculated approximation of some desired measurement. This is the domain of Microeconomics and when applied to software development it is the microeconomics of software development. Estimates have precision and accuracy.
