And the same process is applied to the Scrum development processes on those projects. . 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.

The naturally occurring work effort in the development of a software feature - even if we've built the feature before - is an irreducible uncertainty.

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. What are we looking for? Reading Materials. Start here.

By education and training, I’m actually a software developer. Having spent half my life in the commercial space and half in the government space, the questions are always there. And then I came back and started using it in larger government programs. So, I’m basically saying the middle ground is a software engineer.

We are a consulting company in the DC Baltimore area that specializes in project and portfolio management for about 80% of our customers in the government space, the other 20 in the commercial space. I actually got my degree in software engineering and moved up into project management like a lot of us did back in the day.

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. We engineers should always keep in mind that software development is usually one part of many others inside the company.

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?

The number of software engineers is expected to triple the number of mechanical engineers this year alone. It’s a cloud-based collaboration software. This is what you have, the daily scrums, very quickly, as well. All right, and then the engine behind a lot of that is the CDS, the common data service.
