The key difference is that software engineering negotiations aren't adversarial and no one wants you to overestimate or underestimate. There are numerous books on estimating software time, I recommend Fred Brook's The Mythical Man Month if you're looking for a classic.

- crpatino 11y ago> software engineering negotiations aren't adversarial There's a certain book you should go and read... I think the fact that it does exist is proof itself of how adversarial relationships can get in Software Engineering: http://www.amazon.com/Death-March-Edition-Edward-Yourdon/dp/013143635X http://www.amazon.com/Death-March-Edition-Edward-Yourdon/dp/... Metaphorically speaking, the only way a negotiation does not end up in a fight is when one side sucker-punches the other.
