A practical guide for software developers and development teams, this book features effective and understandable formulas, procedures, and heuristics to help organisations improve their project cost estimates. Often referred to as the "black art" because of its complexity and uncertainty, software estimation is not as hard or mysterious as people think. However, the art of how to create effective cost and schedule estimates has not been very well publicised. This book is organised from simple tips to more advanced ideas; it does not avoid the more hairy mathematical estimation approaches, but the non- mathematical reader will find plenty of useful guidelines without getting bogged down in complex formulas.
