EXTREME PROGRAMMING<br />
dividing the project velocity by the length <strong>of</strong> the iter<strong>at</strong>ion or the number <strong>of</strong><br />
people. This number isn't any good to compare two project's productivity.<br />
Each project team will have a different bias to estim<strong>at</strong>ing stories and tasks,<br />
some estim<strong>at</strong>e high, some estim<strong>at</strong>e low. It doesn't m<strong>at</strong>ter in the long run.<br />
Tracking the total amount <strong>of</strong> work done during each iter<strong>at</strong>ion is the key to<br />
keeping the project moving <strong>at</strong> a steady predictable pace.<br />
The problem with any project is the initial estim<strong>at</strong>e. Collecting lots<br />
<strong>of</strong> details does not make your initial estim<strong>at</strong>e anything other than a guess.<br />
Worry about estim<strong>at</strong>ing the overall scope <strong>of</strong> the project and get th<strong>at</strong> right<br />
instead <strong>of</strong> cre<strong>at</strong>ing large documents. Consider spending the time you<br />
would have invested into cre<strong>at</strong>ing a detailed specific<strong>at</strong>ion on actually<br />
doing a couple iter<strong>at</strong>ions <strong>of</strong> development. Measure the project velocity<br />
during these initial explor<strong>at</strong>ions and make a much better guess <strong>at</strong> the<br />
project's total size.<br />
