The other problem with estimates of time with regard to certain tasks is the pareto principle. Specifically, if I give it to this developer, it will take two days. If I give it to that developer, it will take two weeks. So, how long will it take?
- hnick 7y agoProblem is, if you always give it to the two-day developer your two-week developer might miss out on chances to improve. One place I worked just billed the client what we would as the reasonable rate and tracked the rest as training. I guess pair programming is one approach to get around this, you'd probably consume a week of dev time total in your example but it's better than two.
