STEVE MCCONNELL is best known as t he author of Code Complete, a software industry classic that is often described as the best-reviewed, best-selling software development book of all time.

17 THESES ON SOFTWARE ESTIMATION 17 Theses on Software Estimation (with apologies to Martin Luther for the title) Arriving late to the #NoEstimates discussion, I’m amazed at some of the assumptions that have gone unchallenged, and I’m also amazed at the absence of some fundamental points that no one seems tohave made so far.
17 THESES ON SOFTWARE ESTIMATION (EXPANDED) 4. Being able to estimate effectively is a skill that any true software professional needs to develop, even if they don’t need it on every project. “Estimation often doesn’t work very well, therefore software professionals should not develop estimationskill” –
CLASSIC MISTAKES
Classic Mistakes. In this column, instead of examining the software industry’s best practices I want to step through the looking glass. I want to examine its worst practices– specifically, those that have been used so often, by so many people, to produce such predictably bad results that they should be labeled “classic mistakes.” NINE DEADLY SINS OF PROJECT PLANNING Nine Deadly Sins of Project Planning. At a time when some software organizations have achieved close to perfect on-time delivery records, 1 others continue to suffer mediocre results. Surveys generally indicate that poor project planning is one of the top sources ofproblems.
HOW TO DEFEND AN UNPOPULAR SCHEDULE How to Defend an Unpopular Schedule. Estimating software-product size and of software-project time and resource needs is undoubtedly hard. But once you have made an estimate, you still have to convince your customer or boss to accept it.STEVE MCCONNELL

AFTER THE GOLD RUSH
After the Gold Rush. In January 1848, James Marshall discovered gold in California’s American River, near a mill he was building for John Sutter. At first, he and Sutter dismissed the pea-sized nuggets as a nuisance; they believed the attention that gold would bring would spoil Sutter’s plans to build an agricultural empire. THE POWER OF PROCESS The word “process” is viewed as a four-letter word by some people in the software development community. These people see “Software Processes” as rigid, restrictive, and inefficient. They hold that the best way to run a project is to hire the best people you can, give them all the resources they ask for, and turn them loose to do whatSTEVE MCCONNELL

I am best known as the author of numerous software development books. Many refer to my first book, _Code Complete_, as the “coding Bible.” My most recent book is _More Effective Agile: A Roadmap forSoftware Leaders_.
SPEAKER
I deliver keynote speeches at public and private conferences every year. I speak on topics including engineering leadership, agile development, and other factors that contribute to world class software development organizations.LEADER
I founded my company, Construx Software , more than 10 years ago. We have been named the best small company to work for in Washington state multiple times. Copyright 2019 Steve McConnell, All Rights Reserved | ContactLinkedIn Facebook
