Session: When Can We Ship?? A Fun Exercise in Estimating Software Tasks

Do you have trouble giving estimates for how long your software projects will take? Are you frustrated by people in your organization setting unreasonable timelines for delivering projects? This exercise (audience participation encouraged) will help demonstrate why estimation is hard, how you can get better at it, and how you can manage expectations related to deadlines.
