Description

This episode is part of a wider mini-series looking at Estimation in Software Development.


In this episode, I want to encourage you to mentally separate estimation and planning.


They are often conflated, which leads to confusion, distrust and dysfunctional behavior.


An estimate is generally part of a plan, and a plan can be the outcome of the act of planning.


Software development can't be delivered without planning, even if it's only the most cursory of activities.


Software development can be delivered without an estimate.
