#197: Estimation vs Dependencies

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

In this episode, I wanted to look at the impact that dependencies have on software estimation.

This episode was inspired by a blog post on scrum.org entitled "Eliminate Dependencies, Don't Manage Them", which I read while preparing this series.

In brief, the article talks about how you're better off eliminating dependencies rather than trying to manage them through normal traditional management processes.

In his book, Software Estimation, Demystifying the Black Art, Steve McConnell says that size of the software is the single most significant contributor to project effort and schedule.

Personally, I'd like to suggest that dependencies, if not of similar importance, are a close second.
