Painless Software Schedules
by Joel Spolsky
Wednesday, March 29, 2000
This article is obsolete.
Over the years, I've learned a lot more about schedules and estimates. A newer, far better method for producing accurate software schedules painlessly is Evidence-Based Scheduling . Read that instead.
This article remains here for archival purposes, but please don't read it!
Last October, the Northeast US was plastered with ads for something called Acela, a new express train running from Boston to Washington. With TV ads, billboards, and posters everywhere, you'd think that it would have created some demand for Amtrak's new express service.
Well, maybe. Amtrak didn't get a chance to find out. Acela was delayed, and delayed again, so the marketing campaign played out while Acela service wasn't even available. Which reminded me of something I heard a marketing manager say when his product got a rave review one month before it went on sale: "Great publicity! Too bad you can't buy the dang thing!"
Testosterone-crazed game companies like to brag on their web sites that the next game will ship "when it's ready". Schedule? We don't need no stinkin' schedule! We're cool game coders! Most companies don't get that luxury. Ask Lotus. When they first shipped 123 version 3.0, it required an 80286 computer, which wasn't very common then. They delayed the product by 16 months while they worked to shoehorn it into the 640K memory limit of the 8086. By the time they were done, Microsoft had a 16 month lead in developing Excel, and, in a great karmic joke, the 8086 was obsolete anyway!
