I don't think Steve McConnell was suggesting that developer intuition was not relevant. In some of the formulas he suggests for estimation he includes a factor for how accurate the team was in estimating previous projects. Ultimately each developer will need to estimate individual features or other small units. The other big take away from that book is that estimates should not be a single number but rather a range. If the client insists on a fixed price bid then you start with the higher end of your estimated range and add in something for the risk of a fixed price bid. |
