Schedules serve three functions: allowing for commitments to be made, encouraging everyone to see her work as a contribution to a whole, and enabling the tracking of progress. Even when schedules slip, they still have value.
-
Big schedules should be divided into small schedules to minimize risks and increase the frequency of adjustments.
-
All estimates are probabilities. Because schedules are a collection of estimates, they are also probabilities. This works against schedule accuracy because probabilities accumulate (80% x 80% = 64%).
-
The earlier that estimates are made, the less accurate they are. However, rough estimates are the only way to provide a starting point for better ones.
-
Schedules should be made with skepticism, not optimism. Invest in design to shed light on assumptions and generate reliable confidence.
