The multiply by three approach has also worked for me in the past. People often estimate the time taken to do the task, typically not taking in to consideration the other aspects of their job (eg comms/planning/rework/productionisation/etc) needed to get said task done. I do like the use of pi though, I’ll be adopting this going forwards!
- sbov 8y agoWith experience you can account for this. What's hard to account for is some 3rd party vendor blowing you off, or slow rolling you, for weeks. Or management pulling you into another project. Each integration point with a 3rd party automatically adds an extra 1 week+ to my estimates, depending upon the complexity.
