Estimating Is Not A Problem

August 14, 2008 · Filed Under General 

I spoke with someone recently who had seen a survey that showed estimating was not a problem.  I was interested in that.  With cost and schedule overruns being the norm, and deferred functionality so often being the means of delivery, why people would not think estimating was a problem.

It occurs to me that those persons may not have gone thru the root cause analysis of their project difficulties.  Estimation is the basis of an achievable plan.  And that achievable plan, factoring in risk should yield more successful projects.  However if success is defined as fact free planning, then estimation is not a problem, the entire process is.
