#200: Estimation - Qualitative Approaches

#200: Estimation - Qualitative Approaches

This episode is part of a wider mini-series looking at Estimation in Software Development.

In last week's episode, I introduced two approaches to software estimation, Qualitative and Quantitative estimation.

Qualitative estimation is predominantly based on expert judgment, something based on subjective thought process.

Whereas Quantitative is based on something we count or calculate. A use of statistical analysis based on historical data.

In this episode, I want to dive deeper into the Qualitative and look at some specific practices. -----
