Why is Software Estimation Still a Challenge?
The challenge of software estimation was solved as early as 2008, and yet even today, teams continue to rely on unreliable, unpredictable methods.
If your organisation struggles with missed deadlines, overestimated costs, or unpredictable timelines, it’s time to change the narrative. Join a forward-thinking Community of Practice to learn how to address these persistent challenges once and for all.
We meet on the 3rd Friday lunchtime every month via MS Teams. (and it’s free!)
Each month, we explore a new topic, chosen by you, the community. These topics can include (but are not limited to):
- Team-Level Estimation
- Probabilistic Forecasting using Monte Carlo simulation
- How can we predict how many work items we can complete by a fixed date?
- How can we confidently determine when a feature or project will be completed?
- When will my work request be done?
- How do we stop our estimates from turning into commitments?
- I’ve got an idea for a new product! How long will it take to bring to market, and what will it likely cost?
- How to address: “Your estimates are too high, please re-estimate.”
- How do we estimate Epics?
- How do we estimate, forecast, and track progress at scale across multiple teams, especially when each team is different and dependencies are complex?
- How do we estimate large projects or programmes before we even start?
- How can we make our teams’ delivery rate more predictable?
