In our agile software development world, AHP is rarely found. I came to AHP through a seminar by Dr. James T. This is one role for Story Points in agile development. Measurement theory is a well-debated topic and has been going on long before agile software developers started using Story Points [2], [4]. And of course.

Estimation is part of project management. . The most important estimates for the project manager are related to time and cost. . Since it is easier to estimate small tasks, these estimates are often calculated and performed as point estimates, for example, a task will take 3 days. My proposal is don't estimate.

The conjecture that we can make decisions in the presence of uncertainty without estimating the impacts of those decisions is without any principles that can be tested beyond personal anecdotes of I know people who spend other peoples money without providing estimates. We need to learn how to predict with credible methods.

By the way, the pure conjecture that agile enables late changing requirements to not have a significant impact on the cost and schedule of the development project is completely lacking any testable evidence outside of personal anecdotes of agile advocates.

Regularly track expenses against this initial estimate, ensuring the project remains financially viable and up to date. Cost management explores all potential expenses, including staffing costs, software licenses, materials, etc. Then, a project manager and team should map these against the available budget. Continuous learning is paramount.
