M020 Min Max Missing Method: Rough Estimates

This workshop teaches an effective technique for making rough estimates of how much work will be required to complete a software development project. The Min Max Missing Method was developed by Robert Sabourin of AmiBug.Com, Inc. as a simple technique to generate reasonable rough estimates for software projects. These estimates can be used to help make the "Go/No Go" decision as early as possible. Min Max Missing is also known as the M3 approach.
