This method is the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP was developed in the 1970s by Dr. Thomas Saaty. In our agile software development world, AHP is rarely found. This decision model for software development projects addressed: performance, cost, time, and risk. References . [1] The Wrap Up .

Traditional development processes no longer cut it — IT teams must adopt dynamic ways to maintain current infrastructures while improving their workflows and systems to address changing market demands. Bimodal IT is a concept that was first introduced by leading global IT research firm Gartner in 2014. Mode 1 vs. mode 2.

Nature of the system to be developed - what's the basic processes of the system? The place where descriptions, such as a data dictionary, in an appendix, or incorporate them by reference. Can All This Formality Have Any Use in Modern Software Development? Market considerations - who's going to buy this?

Take for example the deployment of an ERP system, the installation, and startup of a process control system, the release of a suite of embedded software controllers for a car, aircraft, petrochemical plant. This uncertainty is modeled as a stochastic process of an inherently random physical model. Now To Risk Management.

This is a subtle example of the anchoring bias where the first option is used as a reference for all the other ones and thus remains the most attractive one. Survival bias happens when failures are ignored when you are evaluating if a process or decision is the right one (Schermer, 2014). Survival bias.

Project management is as much about people as it is about processes. To make a complex practice like project management simpler, the most recent version of the PMBOK breaks the core project management processes down into five sections: Initiating : Defining a new project or a new phase of an existing project.

There's been a rash of conjectures about all kinds of bad business, project, and software development (agile and traditional) management ideas of late. With what appears to be NO understanding of how to estimate, this author ignores the processes used in developing products or services in the presence of uncertainty.

So start here to build your academic foundation, that can be put to work to build a foundation of validated experience of making estimates in the presence of uncertainty and protect yourself from fallacious claims that estimates are a waste, not needed, and produce bad resulting in the decision making process for those paying you to produce value.

Using this past data is called Reference Class Forecasting [14]. The business as usual, but with some technical processes get a bit wider. Flight software is always an issue where we work, so those ranges are wider even more. Aggregate the results in the individual computation into a final result. My proposal is don't estimate.
