10 Deadly Sins of Software Estimation: Free Webinar

I’ll be giving a free webinar on the 10 Deadly Sins of Software Estimation on April 28, 2011 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time. Here’s a link to sign up for it: http://adtmag.com/webcasts/2011/03/construx-10-deadly-sins-of-software-estimation.aspx?partnerref=con4.

Here’s the overview:

The average project overruns its budget and schedule estimates by 50-80 percent, but in practice little work is done that could truly be called "estimation." Many projects are scheduled using a combination of legitimate business targets and liberal doses of wishful thinking. In this talk, I will present 10 of the worst ways estimates go wrong and time-tested rules of thumb for dramatically improving estimation accuracy.

I remember a similar webinar, a couple of years ago.

I found it quite instructive, and I wanted to share it with my colleagues.

Is it the same as then, or a different one?

@Roberto, this webinar will be very similar to the one you saw two years ago.

The time of the webinar is not convenient for me, will it be available on-demand afterwards?

@Mark, Yes, it should be available from the same URL after a few days.
