I was wrong - sorry about that - I'm teaching Managing your Documentation
Projects starting Jan 9th.

Quoting Tony Markos <ajmarkos -at- yahoo -dot- com>:

Robyn:

Per recent postings on this listserv:

* Don't use page count estimates (doing such shoots
documentation minimalization efforts in the foot).
* Don't use number of developers (productivity between
developers can vary by a factor of up to 100 to 1).
* Do properly partition the work into right-size and
equal-size chunks, determine the time per chunk, and
then multiply through.
* In doing the above step, don't use Use Cases as they
are too poor of an analysis tool for this purpose. A
taboo-to-mention-on-this-listserv method is required.

Hi all,
Given that it is the New Year and time for those
resolutions, I've set
myself a goal of improving my estimating skills for
doc projects (time and
effort). Does anyone know of a good book, training
course or other resource
that I can use?
Thanks in advance,
Robyn
