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.
