Is padding really cheating? I'd describe that as accounting for unforeseen setbacks and correcting for overenthusiastic optimism.

- rightbyte 3y agoPadding estimates is fine. But not when you report actual worked time, which was what we did to make management happy with the burn down charts straightness. If you don't report actual time for the task, the excercise is useless. E.g. shift work time from a slower than estimated task to a faster, or "wait" if the task was done too quickly.
