Softcover. Condition: gut. 2006. software architecture software architects IT project schedule plan staff project budget software development techniques estimation errors estimation technique planning parameters sources requirements Software estimation project manager software architects Carefully written books are not the rule in computing where the speed of developments often overtakes an author while he still broods over his topic. Much in IT is , for this reason, written in great haste. The present book is a rare exception to this rule. It is the outcome of many years of experience and repeated verification of the techniques presented. Software estimation, i.e. the informed guess at how long some task or project will take and what kind of effort is required, is a necessary prerequisite for steering a projectUnless a project manager has some idea of the schedule ahead, he is not in a position to plan and staff a project, let alone provide the necessary budget. But how does one make reasonable assumptions about an uncertain future? The key, at least in software development, is estimation. Estimation is not a black art, insists the author of the present book, but there are techniques which help making informed and well reasoned assumptions about the future. These techniques are what the book is about. The book has three partsIt starts by examining the the critical estimation concepts. I have in particular enjoyed reading about where estimation errors usually come from. The core of the book is part two, which is devoted to estimation techniques. At their very foundation is 'count, compute, judge', not guess. The last part discusses the various estimation challenges, which include converting estimates into planning parameters, or political issues resulting from contentious estimates. Where much praise is due some criticism is also in order. If there is one aspect of estimation which I think remains somewhat out of focus then it is the question of the sources of requirements. The book, in its larger part, assumes that requirements are given in a form which is accessible to estimation. In actual practice this is not usually the case. And even if requirements are available, estimation usually requires that these requirements should be brought into a formal form which allows one to submit them to 'counting, judging, computing'. There are few hints in this book regarding these two fundamental questions. The first might be delegated to books on requirements engineering, while the second, I think, should have been included, at least in the form of extended examples (the examples of the book are suitably simple for the purpose of the exposition, they remain sub-ideal as applicable templates). The art of estimation is one of the tools that should be in any architects toolbox. Unfortunately, this tool is often forgotten in introductions to (pragmatic) software architecture. As I know no better book on the topic of estimation, I think this book is a must-have for all software architects. Or should I sayA must-read!

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Almost every software project begins with the utterances, ""What will this cost?"" and ""When will this project be done?"" Once those words are spoken, project stakeholders begin to wrestle with how to produce an estimate. Accurately estimating the cost or time to complete a software project is a serious problem for many software engineers, developers and project managers who struggle with costs running double original estimates, putting their careers at risk. It is reported that nearly 50% of all software projects are shelved and that one of the major causes is poor estimation practices. If developing software for internal use, poor estimates can represent a significant drain on corporate profits. Worldwide growth in the number of companies specializing in the development of software for use by other companies is staggering. India alone has nearly 20,000 such companies. Intense competition has led to an increased demand for fixed-bid pricing in client/vendor relationships, and has made effective cost estimation even more important and, in many cases, critical to a firm's survival. There are many methods of estimation. Each method has its strengths and weaknesses, proponents and opponents. Knowing how and which one to use on a given project is key to developing acceptable estimates for either internal or external projects.Software Estimation Best Practices, Tools, & Techniques covers all facets of software estimation. It provides a detailed explanation of the various methods for estimating software size, development effort, cost, and schedule, including a comprehensive explanation of test effort estimation. Emphasizing that software estimation should be based on well-defined processes, it presents software estimation best practices and shows how to avoid common pitfalls. This guide offers direction on which methods are most appropriate for each of the different project types commonly executed in the software development space and criteria for selecting software estimation tools. This comprehensive desk reference explains software estimation from scratch to help the beginner and features advanced techniques for more experienced estimators. It details project scheduling, including resource leveling and the concept of productivity, as applicable to software estimators, demonstrating the many benefits of moving from the current macro-productivity approach to a micro-productivity approach in software estimation. Software Estimation Best Practices, Tools, & Techniques: A Complete Guide for Software Project Estimators caters to the needs of all software project stakeholders, from novice to expert. It provides the valuable guidance needed to estimate the cost and time required to complete software projects within a reasonable margin of error for effective software development. Covers all facets of software estimation. This book provides a detailed explanation of the various methods for estimating software size, development effort, cost, and schedule, including a comprehensive explanation of test effort estimation, and presents software estimation best practices and shows how to avoid common pitfalls.
