> A lot of developers really hate committing to any kind of estimate In development (as opposed to production) I personally fight against any commitment if it comprises the "what" as well as the "when". You fix the date of the next release and provide me with a prioritized list of bug fixes and features to work on? Nice, let me start to work! You think that a specific new feature could improve our sales and you let me drop anything else and call you back as soon as I have any news? Wonderful, I'm already analysing the issue in my head! Anything else, and I'll let you know that your dreams are not likely to come true.
