Evidence Based Planning

The Pain

Bad Estimates Are Bad

Humans are terrible about predicting the future. Yet we keep trying. Vegas thrives on this. The house always wins.

On software development teams, people are regularly asked to make educated guesses on how long a whole series of tasks will take. These wrong guesses inevitably lead to missed deadlines, upset stakeholders, and overworked developers.

There is another way

Uncover the Uncertainty

Break epics down smaller. Break stories down smaller. Writing down the implementation plan in great detail ensures the design is complete. Breaking it into small tasks makes it observable. Wrap that in good communication, and you’ve got the basics for Evidence Based Planning.
