Talk:Evidence-based scheduling

Recreation of Page
The previous page describing the approach was deleted on the grounds of it being blatant advertising (Spolsky's company sells a tool which includes it as a feature). It was recreated on the grounds that this technique is an important software engineering technique for the community and Spolsky's original blog posting of the idea is sufficiently clear for anyone to implement it. --Andy Dent, Jan 31, 02009.

 * I totally agree with this - EBS is a general technique, not a particular product. --Irrevenant [ talk ] 12:26, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Montecarlo techniques
Another important property of Joel's exposition on EBS is the use of Monte Carlo techniques to provide a statistical distribution of schedule times, rather than a single schedule.
 * Agreed. I came here to say exactly the same thing.  I've added a comment to the page to that effect. --Irrevenant [ talk ] 12:26, 6 March 02009 (UTC)
