	abstract = {The goal of the thesis is to contribute to reducing the estimation error in software development projects by coming to a better understanding of the shortcomings of, and how to improve, expert judgment-based processes of effort estimation. The following topics are addressed: {\textbullet} When, and how much, do judgmental biases and inconsistencies in effort estimates impact the estimation error? {\textbullet} What is the software clients{\textquoteright} role in reducing effort estimation error in software development projects? {\textbullet} What is the state of practice of software effort estimation error measurement and analysis?},
