Microeconomics of Software Development - Microeconomics is a branch of economics that studies the behavior of individuals and their decision making on the allocation of limited resources. Software development operates in the presence of scarce resources. Software development operates in the presence of scarce resources.

I work in a domain where systems are engineered for the customer. These systems fall into the Software Intensive System of Systems (SISoS) category. The notion that innovation and engineering - software engineering - are somehow in conflict is common. . In this domain innovative is also the basis of success.

Although I understand measuring productivity could work well for repeatable activities, it's hard to believe it works well for abstract and, ultimately, non-repeatable tasks like software development. That's why I strive to create an environment with mutual trust between the engineers and the different stakeholders.

And for you hardcore engineers out there, not really so much talking to you. What I’m really talking about is to your project managers, to your team leads, to your executive teams around what kind of conditions they need to create for you so that we can do Agile and Agile engineering practices really well. Any thoughts?

This Does Not Scale - If there are software development projects that can be executed without knowing how much it will cost in the end (an open ended spend plan), or projects where the budget is capped (a Not To Exceed Number) and we don't really need to know the upper bound of the features to be delivered, how large can this notion scale?

Uncertainty of course is present in all software development work both reducible and irreducible uncertainty. Before listening to any conjecture that estimates aren't needed to make decisions in the presence of Uncertainty for software development, please read these books. Economics of Software Development.
