Did you say what you are saying here?
Did you say that
1) Without knowing further best case is it takes N time, worst case M time, and if there are certain obstacles it could be completely unfeasible.
2) To get more accurate time and to understand whether it's feasible I would need O time to figure that out first, and I can give you the more accurate estimate then.
- IIsi50MHz 4y agoThis seems unexpectedly optimistic, to me. I'd think: best case = it's already done; worst case = it's impossible, but we don't know that until we've spent too much time and money on it; the "certain obstacles" are almost always uncertain or completely unknown; and the "O time to figure out [how much time it will take] is also unknowable until the "figuring" is already complete. Now, if this were manufacturing with well-known processes, then I feel I could use your formula.
- Scarblac 4y agoYes, of course. To the bad managers it sounds like just yet another excuse, and they ask other devs until they find one who gives a number.
