It looks like some new fancy methodology named EBSE is coming upon us in 2010. Can someone explain it please to me, so I could tell it or hide from it when I see it ? Thank you.
A:
Do you mean evidence-based scheduling? The basic gist is that estimates for features in development should be based on statistics gathered about how long previously completed features took.

No. I mean EBSE. But thank you, the fogbugz is too well known tool to cause any questions.

From the official website, "EBSE is concerned with determining what works, when and where, in terms of software engineering practice, tools and standards".
Basically, EBSE is inspired in medical practice and other professions with similar trajectories, and tries to apply their empirical, down-to-earth approach to the often chaotic world of software development.

This strongly reminds me of the advice given in the book The Mythical Man-Month. :)
