E-MailThe State of Software Estimation: Has the Dragon Been Slain? (Part 1)
Software estimation has been a tough beast to control ever since the early days of programming. Some may say that we have succumbed to the dragon. During the 1980s and 1990s, there were many infamous stories about software projects running out of control and ultimately being abandoned, due to significant cost and time overruns [1]. Today, we find that software projects are still being abandoned and for many of the same reasons. This is one of the findings of a recent Cutter Consortium survey on the current state of software project estimation.
