The XP approach uses "points" and velocity for scheduling. The problem with calendar time is then the managers expect the programmers to stick to the dates. But in reality no one can predict with absolute certainty how long a project will take. I think XP's approach handles this issue very nicely. > >This sounds like a perfect scenario for eXtreme Programming. > > Actually, the first Struts project we did here, we used elements > of XP.
