RE: Estimating a Project

["Robert Wisbey" <robert-wisbey -at- scitech-consultants -dot- co -dot- uk>]

John,

If you are working so fast that your movement of typing is close to the
speed of light, then you must include a relativistic factor, gamma (G),
where G = {1 - [(3x10^8)/(your speed of typing in m/s)]}

However, I forget where in your equation you need to place G .....

;-)

I just noticed why on several of my most projects, I missed the deadline
date...I had one-to-many parenthesis in the formula. I think this one
will work better. I apologize to those who might have used my formula to
develop a deadline under incorrect instructions.

Does anyone have a "magic" formula for estimating documentation?
