Kicking the bad habits of Project Management

Excerpts from devshop creator Craig Fitzpatrick

Habit   Identified as
Estimating how long work takes => Time estimation error
Pure dev time versus fighting fires => Distraction rate
Premature speculation (we make a bunch of promises too early in the process when we don’t have enough information) => Schedule confidence
Requirements and schedule falling out of sync. => Tie requirements and designs to tasks / estimates
Not planning for change. => Turn / Context switching
