Re: Estimation techniques used in embedded porting projects

the same final estimate. The disadvantage is that it requires more work. The
building trade use both these estimate to great affect.

LOL. As I sit in the middle of a multimillion dollar office relocation
project (delayed by two to seven years from the original date,
depending on who you ask), looking at the contractors scurrying to and
fro, wires dangling out of missing drop-ceiling tiles, sweat dripping
down my face because it's 85 degrees Fahrenheit at my desk (contrast
35 degrees forty feet away) and squinting at my monitor because the
glass wall lets in far too much light and the queen bee insisted we
have low cell walls that don't block it, I have to wonder just how
many building contractors you have dealt with!

I can count on the fingers of one ear the number of building projects
I'm aware of - starting with the Pyramids - that were either on time
or on budget.
