Recreation of Page

edit

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 [1] of the idea is sufficiently clear for anyone to implement it. --Andy Dent, Jan 31, 02009.

Montecarlo techniques

edit

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)
