As we noticed in Uncertainty Principle in Software Projects, to deliver the whole project in time we need periodically show to the customer the features as soon as the prototype for them is ready. The question is, how long should be the period? (text and audio) Continue reading
As was discussed elsewhere, it is impossible to estimate the project deadline time exactly and the typical error may be as large as the project time itself. Nevertheless it is possible to finish the project in time... Therefore the goal is to reduce the deviation of the prototype from the target to the minimum and this, according to " Central Limit Theorem" from the statistics is possible if...

This principle resembles Heisenberg uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics and can be stated like this "The more exact you wish to be the project deadline match the less detailed should be the contract". (You may listen to the audio or read the text below it) ... Continue reading

The fastest way to make the software project is rare possible because in this method there are no deadlines and schedule. Before you stop reading here I mention that Google applies this method for years and you know the result. So it may be useful to get from this method all that that can be applied to other conditions. For your convenience, below is the video so you may listen as well... Continue reading
