I swear I hate this estimates thing so hard. For many reasons: 1) Estimations should be useful so business can adapt. In reality there's no adaptation of any sort, your PM will get the stick from its own boss that stuff needs to be ready by this or that more-or-less vague deadline. Thus, what am I estimating for if you don't care about my estimation anyway? 2) There are no incentives for teams ultimately to estimate anything realistically. What do you get for being accurate? A medal? In fact, all incentives go towards inflating the amount of work through estimates. 3) Ultimately all this dancing of estimates and rituals is nothing else but stuff that management embraces to appear more effectful and impactful than it really is.
