Software effort estimation is one of the oldest and most
important problems in software project management, and thus today
there are a large number of models, each with its own unique
strengths and weaknesses in general, and even more importantly, in
relation to the environment and context in which it is to be
applied.
Trendowicz and Jeffery present a comprehensive look at the
principles of software effort estimation and support software
practitioners in systematically selecting and applying the most
suitable effort estimation approach. Their book not only presents
"what" approach to take and "how" to apply and improve it, but also
explains "why" certain approaches should be used in specific
project situations. Moreover, it explains popular estimation
methods, summarizes estimation best-practices, and provides
guidelines for continuously improving estimation capability.
Additionally, the book offers invaluable insights into project
management in general, discussing issues including project
trade-offs, risk assessment, and organizational learning.
Overall, the authors deliver an essential reference work for
software practitioners responsible for software effort estimation
and planning in their daily work and who want to improve their
estimation skills. At the same time, for lecturers and students the
book can serve as the basis of a course in software processes,
software estimation, or project management.
