Building a Fort: Lessons in Software Estimation - 10x Software Development Whenever I do a physical construction project like this I try to pay attention to which attributes of the project are similar to software projects and which are different. The comparisons are made more challenging by the fact that my construction projects are recreational, whereas I'm trying to draw comparisons to commercial software projects. For the first half of the project, no good similarities jumped at out me. But as the project started to take much longer than I expected, I began to see more and more similarities between my estimates on the fort and problems people run into with software estimates. in Public bookmarkswith buildingconstructionestimatesfortmanagementplanningprojectsoftwareby 2 users
