Often referred to as the “black art” because of its complexity and
uncertainty, software estimation is not as difficult or puzzling as people
think. In fact, generating accurate estimates is straightforward―once you
understand the art of creating them. In his highly anticipated book, acclaimed
author Steve McConnell unravels the mystery to successful software
estimation―distilling academic information and real-world experience into a
practical guide for working software professionals. Instead of arcane
treatises and rigid modeling techniques, this guide highlights a proven set of
procedures, understandable formulas, and heuristics that individuals and
development teams can apply to their projects to help achieve estimation
proficiency.
