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.

Without a Root Cause Analysis, No Corrective or Preventive Action is Credible - Part 1

Herding Cats

But before going further, let's establish the definitions we need to understand and apply Root Cause Analysis needed to discover the corrective and preventive actions to increase the probability of project success - especially Software Project Success. What Are Problem Causes of Software Projects? All for the want of a nail.
