I am responsible for telling the person promising how long the work would take as scoped out, given the competing or potential problems which that person is also responsible of informing me exist. It's not that I provide no info - it's that I can't be authoritative about delivery times in an ecosystem I don't entirely control.
- notimetorelax 4y agoI think this argument is not about engineer vs manager. It’s about junior vs senior engineer. As you gain seniority and tech-lead others you take on this responsibility. I agree that junior engineers shouldn’t do estimation, but rather senior engineers should set the expectations.
