Scott,
How do you do it? Honestly I want to know.
The best I've ever been able to come up with is that if someone always
writes the same kind of code, say repeatedly writing eCommerce sites
for different clients, then they can base an estimate for a new
project on experience with past project.
But that's not the way I've ever worked. I always write completely
new things, that bear no relation at all to past projects, so I don't
have any meaningful basis for estimates.
My colleagues tell me I should know how to estimate. I can see how it
would be helpful but I've never been able to figure out how to
actually do it.
Mike
