In most companies it works this way "Give me an estimate based on what I am telling you now. I haven't really thought it through and there are a lot of unknowns

In most companies it works this way "Give me an estimate based on what I am telling you now. I haven't really thought it through and there are a lot of unknowns I view this estimate as a commitment that should be kept although I will probably make a lot of changes during development"
- scruple 4y agoI think this is close. IMO, the problem is that we're talking about a group of concepts using vague language. Is it an estimate, a target, or a deadline? "Estimate" gets used in place for targets and deadlines all of the time and it sets up situations where expectations aren't properly managed.
