Recreation of Page[edit]
The previous page describing the approach was deleted on the grounds of it being blatant advertising (Spolsky's company sells a tool which includes it as a feature). It was recreated on the grounds that this technique is an important software engineering technique for the community and Spolsky's original blog posting [1] of the idea is sufficiently clear for anyone to implement it. --Andy Dent, Jan 31, 02009.

- I totally agree with this - EBS is a general technique, not a particular product. --Irrevenant [ talk ] 12:26, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Montecarlo techniques[edit]
Another important property of Joel's exposition on EBS is the use of Monte Carlo techniques to provide a statistical distribution of schedule times, rather than a single schedule.
- Agreed. I came here to say exactly the same thing. I've added a comment to the page to that effect. --Irrevenant [ talk ] 12:26, 6 March 02009 (UTC)
