The issue is management rarely is looking 1-2 months out. They are looking 1-2 years out. On those scales it is impossible to estimate anything.

- tstrimple 4y agoI wish it was the norm for management to be looking 1-2 years out. Sometimes that tries to happen at the C level, but even then it doesn't seem to work its way down to line managers who are almost always focused on the next immediate deliverable. Future looking managers are the exception, not the rule in my experience.
