Often, traditional earned value approaches do not deal sufficiently with the idiosyncrasies of software intensive programs.  However, successful management of software intensive programs can be achieved by focusing on establishing the requirements, developing a reliable baseline estimate [...]]]></description>

So, you&#8217;ve checked over all of your initial data, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. You&#8217;ve double checked with the client and you know exactly what they think that they want. And you&#8217;ve plugged all of that carefully measured data into your software estimation program of choice and hit the enter key.
Congratulations and welcome [...]]]></description>

Keeping up with the idea that we&#8217;re doing software estimating to create a software package, let&#8217;s go ahead and give a long look at our intended project. The first question you&#8217;re going to have to ask yourself is how big is this project going to be?
If you&#8217;re writing new software, one of the key determining [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s a popular cliché amongst rocket scientists &#8220;a launch that is off by one degree will miss the moon by miles.&#8221; Okay, so maybe the authenticity of that phrase is leaves a lot to be desired, but the spirit of the statement – the accuracy of a rocket is only as sound as the accuracy [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s a running gag between myself and a few of my friends and associates – if possible, how much information would you cede over to software estimation? Theoretically, software that was smart enough, and fed enough information could serve as a nice expert opinion, specifically when involved in an argument with a significant other. After [...]]]></description>

Here lies the difficult question. How does software estimation actually work? Conceptually speaking its simple, in practice however, that’s where things become more difficult. I’m sure some of you have a book somewhere by a fellow named Steve McConnel. The book, Software Estimation, carries the subtitle “Demystifying the Black Art” which paints software estimation in [...]]]></description>
