Book Description

March 15, 2006 0849335930 978-0849335938 1
To achieve consistent software project success under the pressures of today's software development environment, software organizations require achievable plans including viable estimates of schedule, resources, and risks. To estimate realistically, you must understand how to apply sound estimation processes, tools, and data.

Software Sizing, Estimation, and Risk Management: When Performance is Measured Performance Improves is a practical, hands-on discussion of the software estimation, planning, and control process. This includes critical factors that impact estimates, methods for selecting and applying appropriate measures to projects, proper software sizing, and processes to identify and manage risk. The authors use their expertise in sizing, estimation, process engineering, and risk management to clearly demonstrate problems that make many estimates crumble and solutions that provide successful project plans. The book offers insight not available anywhere else, enabling you to recognize and avoid downstream impacts resulting from poor estimates.

5.0 out of 5 stars Professional Software Estimating for 'Grownups', March 24, 2010
This review is from: Software Sizing, Estimation, and Risk Management: When Performance is Measured Performance Improves (Hardcover)
Managing the Black Hole: The Executive's Guide to Software Project Risk
Many of us in the software business have developed careful estimates for software projects only to be told by management to "cut it by 1/3" - this book explores how to overcome this all too common challenge. Dan Galorath has done a great job of explaining the SCIENCE of software cost estimating. This book is a must read for anyone serious about software project success!
