Re: Building Maps in Gentran
I'll stick with my estimates, Thomas. Studies have shown that the best
programmers can be up to 20 (that's TWENTY) times more productive than the
worst. I've worked with people on both ends of the spectrum, and have no
reason to doubt the studies. That's why I give wide ranges and caveats
when estimating for other people.
If Carla is an above average performer and is able to get the help you
suggest, then she might be able to get the job done in a couple of weeks
(or less if she's really good), including the time she will need for
research, finding mentor(s), and learning from them. (Training would be
even better, but of course that takes more time and money.) OTOH, if she's
a below average performer and doesn't get any help, it could easily take a
month or more (and we're just talking about a six to one ratio here, not
twenty to one).
