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. AHP was developed in the 1970s by Dr. Thomas Saaty. In our agile software development world, AHP is rarely found. And of course.

Barry Boehm's work in “Software Engineering Economics”. The Cone is a project management framework describing the uncertainty aspects of estimates (cost and schedule) and other project attributes (cost, schedule, and technical performance parameters). There can be cost and schedule performance measures as well.

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.

With these business principles of software development and projects in general, we can ask and answer five principles of project success. A final Thought . 9, January 2011. [6]

This, of course, is a fallacy on all levels. 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.

It's the Planning and Controls processes working together with the Technical Development processes that provide the ability to forecast what should happen in the future if we keep going like we are going now using a Model of the possible future outcomes. This approach uses past performance to predict future performance.

In this article we look at emerging software in the PPM space and discuss how its selection and implementation needs to be done in line with an overarching digital strategy. A tiny snapshot of the analysis that the different software tools went through.

Microeconomics is applicable to the development is software systems. If we look at the discipline of software engineering, we see that the microeconomics branch of economics deals more with the types of decisions we need to make as software engineers or managers.

There a popular notions in the agile development world that authors like Hayek and Taleb speak to how software development works. Let's look at the thesis of Hayek in light of software development and the decisions that must be made when spending other people's money in the presence of uncertainty. Of course not.

Activity: A distinct, identifiable portion of work done during the course of a project. Each 'activity' is the smallest unit of work that can be performed within the scope of the project. The agile approach is usually used in software projects where the scope is not always known and adaptability is prioritized.

This quote is typically the basis of proposing agile software development over traditional software development. But if the development work is a Project is a fixed period of performance, for a fixed (with margin) budget, and a fixed set of Capabilities, then the question is can agile be used to develop the software?
