I think the name of the article should be changed. Estimation in software engineering is not a proper title for en encyclopedic article. The article does not even currently give a definintion for that word. Not sure though what the best title would be. Perhaps Effort estimation (redirects here)? That is a term mostly used in software engineering (37 000 of the 43 200 pages that Google finds on effort estimation includes the word software).

SCRUM

I'm wondering if parts of "Agile Project Management with SCRUM" should be leasted here? Burn down charts, and task complexity estimation? Mathiastck (talk) 00:52, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Change of name

I suggest that the name should be "software development effort estimation". I think we should avoid general, non-software specific names, and names that do not say anything about what we estimate. I do not think we should mix software cost estimation and other project management means, unless the connection is very obvious, i.e., use of work breakdown structures in bottom-up effort estimation.¨¨¨¨ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Magnej (talk • contribs) 13:23, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
