SE Radio 599: Jason C. McDonald on Quantified Tasks

Jason C. McDonald, author of the book Dead
Simple Python, speaks with host Samuel Taggart about leveraging
quantified tasks to improve estimation, particularly across
projects. They discuss the origin of the concept and its
relationship with story points, and Jason offers examples to show
how quantified tasks can capture nuances in software tasks that
are often lost with story points. He also points to the ability
to compare them across projects as a major advantage of
quantified tasks. Among other topics, they consider also how to
use quantified tasks to analyze the stability of a codebase.
