Estimating is a Learned Skill

Herding Cats

The primary purpose of software estimation is not to predict a project’s outcome; it is to determine whether a project’s targets are realistic enough to allow the project to be controlled to meet them ‒ Steve McConnell. Planning and Executing Time-Bound Projects,” Eduardo Miranda, IEEE Computer , March 2002, pp. 5 Oct 1990, Page 21.

Misunderstanding Making Decisions in the Presence of Uncertainty

Herding Cats

Our knowledge of this world - the planned and actual behaviors of the project. The naturally occurring work effort in the development of a software feature - even if we've built the feature before - is an irreducible uncertainty. Mazzuchi, and Shahram Sarkani, Systems Engineering , Volume 17, Issue 4, Winter 2014, Pages: 375–391.
