Book excerpt: Excerpt from Estimating the Cost of Work: With Special Reference to Unstandardized Operations, as in Jobbing Shops or Repair Work This incomplete discussion upon the systematic collection and use of unit costs for ordinary estimating purposes has been compiled partly from memoranda issued from time to time within the past four years by the author to the members of the hull Estimating and Planning Staff at certain Navy Yards, as a part of their instruction and training. On account of the satisfactory results obtained by the use of these notes, incomplete as they are, I have been persuaded rather than to wait several years longer for more complete data from which to prepare a scientific discussion of the problems of the average estimator, to venture at this time to contribute my mite to the cause of standardization of labor. I do this in the belief that my efforts will be supported and far surpassed by many others of kindred faith, and that at some distant day the art of Estimating the Cost of all classes of work will approach becoming a science.

Download or read book Software Estimation written by Steve McConnell and published by Microsoft Press. This book was released on 2006-02-22 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often referred to as the “black art” because of its complexity and uncertainty, software estimation is not as difficult or puzzling as people think. In fact, generating accurate estimates is straightforward—once you understand the art of creating them. In his highly anticipated book, acclaimed author Steve McConnell unravels the mystery to successful software estimation—distilling academic information and real-world experience into a practical guide for working software professionals. Instead of arcane treatises and rigid modeling techniques, this guide highlights a proven set of procedures, understandable formulas, and heuristics that individuals and development teams can apply to their projects to help achieve estimation proficiency. Discover how to: Estimate schedule and cost—or estimate the functionality that can be delivered within a given time frame Avoid common software estimation mistakes Learn estimation techniques for you, your team, and your organization * Estimate specific project activities—including development, management, and defect correction Apply estimation approaches to any type of project—small or large, agile or traditional Navigate the shark-infested political waters that surround project estimates When many corporate software projects are failing, McConnell shows you what works for successful software estimation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agile Estimating and Planning is the definitive, practical guide to estimating and planning agile projects. In this book, Agile Alliance cofounder Mike Cohn discusses the philosophy of agile estimating and planning and shows you exactly how to get the job done, with real-world examples and case studies. Concepts are clearly illustrated and readers are guided, step by step, toward how to answer the following questions: What will we build? How big will it be? When must it be done? How much can I really complete by then? You will first learn what makes a good plan-and then what makes it agile. Using the techniques in Agile Estimating and Planning, you can stay agile from start to finish, saving time, conserving resources, and accomplishing more. Highlights include: Why conventional prescriptive planning fails and why agile planning works How to estimate feature size using story points and ideal days–and when to use each How and when to re-estimate How to prioritize features using both financial and nonfinancial approaches How to split large features into smaller, more manageable ones How to plan iterations and predict your team's initial rate of progress How to schedule projects that have unusually high uncertainty or schedule-related risk How to estimate projects that will be worked on by multiple teams Agile Estimating and Planning supports any agile, semiagile, or iterative process, including Scrum, XP, Feature-Driven Development, Crystal, Adaptive Software Development, DSDM, Unified Process, and many more. It will be an indispensable resource for every development manager, team leader, and team member.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Building Estimator: A Practical Guide to Estimating the Cost of Labor and Material in Building Construction, From Excavation to Finish; With Various Practical Examples of Work Presented in Detail, and With Labor Figured Chiefly in Hours and Quantities; A Handbook for Archite "The Building Estimator," of which the present book is an outgrowth, had only 150 pages, and an Index of two; this edition contains 732 pages and an Index of seventeen. In such a large work as this now is. a good Index is of great value, and it is suggested that it be frequently consulted. The belief is that the increase in value has more than kept pace with the bulk. An endeavor to keep down the thickness has been made by using a thinner paper than In former editions. The field of building is always expanding, and the author and publishers try to keep the "New Building Estimator" abreast of every progressive development. Therefore, in addition to the main part of the book dealing with the standard construction, there are detailed figures on reinforced concrete, and many chapters on Square, Cubic Foot, and Comparative Costs, on Physical Valuation, and Depreciation that serve alike for architects, contractors, insurance and other appraisers, and railroad engineers. Many states have already valued their railroads, and the same work has been recommended by high authority for the nation at large, while all the buildings of great cities like Philadelphia, Cleveland, St. Paul, Denver, etc., have been assessed on a square foot basis. The figures are here put In compact form for the use of all. The ordinary tabulated matter is given, but there are also special tables for quick calculation, Including a series for estimating plaster. An hourly Wage Table has been prepared for this edition in order to save weekly calculations. The ordinary wage table is of no use to builders who pay by the hour only. The book has from the first been received with favor by the trade press, by architects, railroad engineers, contractors, appraisers, assessors, students, and others.
