I worked at one place where if the estimate for any task was over 2 days it would not get approved. Some really required two days tasks could take months. If we didn't want to do it, high estimate. If the business really wanted it they asked different devs until it was two days. Such a strange place to work.
- QuercusMax 3y agoWas the intention to force people to break tasks down into smaller chunks? There's no way you're spending months on something that can't be broken down at all.
- Shaanie 3y agoBreaking projects down into <2 day chunks isn't a bad idea (although max 2 days is a bit aggressive), but those chunks are likely going to be useless to stakeholders and shouldn't be communicated outside of the team.
