Milestones…
Well, it happened a lot sooner than we thought, but infovark has made the front page of Joel On Software:
Dean and I were at Crystal City yesterday to hear Joel talk about the new features in FogBugz 6.0, which looks like a great product.
My favourite feature was the evidence based scheduling, which uses the history of individual developers estimating accuracy to calculate a series of projected shipdates and probabilities, shown in a fancy AJAX chart. Feature/Schedule tradeoff decisions have never looked easier than they did on the big screen yesterday.
Kudos to the Fog Creek team for bringing a whole lot more reality into the software development process, and for building a system so easy that developers might actually use it.
