Wrote a blog post about how I learned to use monte carlo simulations, and histogram charts to help me estimate and project things like costs, or project delivery dates ... while still communicating the uncertainty of the thing. I'd love to get any feedback or thoughts on this :)
Ever worked with a "Cowboy Coder"? Or perhaps, you yourself are that gun-slingin' cowpoke! What works in a smaller team or startup, can eventually become a liability as a team grows if not managed correctly.
