104 | Can an Author play these roles: Moderator, Reader, Recorder? | Recommendation has always been, "try it by the book". You should get a glimpse, a taste for all techniques that we cover during lectures. You might like them and you might even find them indispensable. As a first step, you follow the exact steps and roles, as we discuss in the class, so to develop an appreciation for the process. As a second step, you might tailor the process to your specifics. Both steps are important. |
105 | How to narrow the cone of uncertainty? | The strongest leverage in improving the estimation accuracy is through internal parameters of a project, e.g. improving software design, hiring best possible people, establishing coding standards, assuring rigorous testing.
