ways to make decisions with No Estimates. Uncertainty of course is present in all software development work both reducible and irreducible uncertainty. can we make a decision in the presence of Uncertainty without making an estimate of the impact or outcome of that decision? An estimate is. Start here.

This is simply good process development and management. Then conjecture that NOT estimating will fix that symptom. This, of course, is simply poor process improvement and a fallacy since without the root cause the symptom cannot be fixed and will return. Principle #1 - Trust Your Process, or Change Your Process.

If, for example, a project manager believes a member of his or her team is a fast and effective worker, each time that team member works fast and effectively or is told by a colleague about the work that has been done fast and effectively, the project manager will consider his or her belief to be well-founded.

This is simply good process development and business management. Then conjecture that NOT estimating will fix that symptom. This, of course, is simply poor process improvement and a fallacy, since without the root cause the symptom cannot be fixed and will return. And the practices are not connected to any principle.

This makes no sense for any development project beyond a de minimis project. It can be used to identify appropriate teams, work groups, and a sequence of how the tasks can be arranged. This always takes us back the coupling and cohesion discussion all of us who were Software Engineers in the 1980's .

Kyle: And welcome to Part 2 of MPUG’s Project Performance Measurement course. By education and training, I’m actually a software developer. There was another study done that shows that 122 million wasted for every $1 billion invested due to poor project performance, a 12% increase over the previous years.

The Cone of Uncertainty is a framing assumption used to model the needed reduction in some parameter of interest in domains ranging from software development to hurricane forecasting. Of late, Cone of Uncertainty has become the mantra of No Estimates advocates claiming that data is needed BEFORE the Cone is of any use.

The whole gamut of frameworks and methodologies you’ll be learning while doing ACP certification, such as XP, that is Extreme Programming, Scrum, Lean, Kanban, Crystal, FDD, which is Feature Driven Development and TDD, which is Test Driven Development, among many others. Of course, they can have the certification.

This is from the PMI, pulse of profession survey and it says that 47% of unsuccessful projects fail to meet original goals due to poor requirements. Why is there a 30% failure rate that are the result of inaccurate requirements gathering or poor requirements. Validation, the team built the right system. What is going on?
