software projects: have your cake and eat it?

in my opinion you actually can't; you're not able to make sure that a project is on budget, on time, and have all the planned features with high quality. there's always a risk, and you can only control any 2 out of the 3 factors at the most.
software projects: have your cake and eat it? - ingvald

frå artikkelen eg har lest:

"the only true measure of progress on a software development project is the delivery of working software. "
....
"potentially-shippable software at the end of each iteration"

dette medfører forsåvidt helst iterasjonar på ein mnd eller kortare...

og ein liten provokasjon - du bør ikkje prøva å måla framgang ift planen du har laga...

"... instead of measuring progress against your plan, ... you should instead be focusing on ensuring ROI and product quality. "
