Finally I have another post on read book (after so long time not reading posting). This time book is on software estimation called “Software Estimation: Demystifying the Black Art”.

This is first book that I read about estimation end-to-end, and I have to say that it is extremely good and I think it covers most of the topics needed to be able to see how estimation works.

It consists with three parts, each gives you good set of knowledge, first one on core concepts, second on fundamental techniques and third one on challenges you might dive in when estimating.

Honestly I started to read this book, because I knew that I will have presentation/training to deliver. I heard about most of the concepts mentioned in book, but (!) book gave great insight into them and from different perspectives so I started to wish that I had reconsidered all of the many estimates I gave in the past.

I would really recommend you to read this book as it helps you to think deeper when working on estimates.
