God, give us grace
to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things
that should be changed,
and the wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.

Project Time Estimates: Over the years I have found a nearly foolproof technique for software project estimation. By foolproof, I mean that it doesn‘t always fail. Well it worked once. Nearly once. Anyway, my software project estimation technique is to simply find the most knowledgeable developer and ask him, “How long is this going to take?” Get his answer and adjust it slightly for the well know developer optimism effect. This adjustment is very simple: take the developer estimate, double it and move to the next higher unit of time. Three hours? Six days. Couple of days? Two weeks. Five weeks? Ten months.
