Primes¶
- Planning Fallacy
- In software engineering, nearly every project of non-trivial scope ships late; the discipline's estimation tools — story points, velocity tracking, three-point estimation — are functionally outside-view scaffolds, and "small batches" practices are partly a response to the structural difficulty of inside-view estimation at any meaningful horizon.
This sourceClassic treatment of systematic software schedule/cost underestimation and empirical (outside-view) estimation practice.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
