> “Estimate for X is 5 hours”. Does this estimate only source code change, or full release process with installation to production? Also is that 50 % chance do

  These are all questions that managers (in my org) are typically expected to ask. They aren't one-offs, but are critical information to share information between people.

  I wanted to say that this "obviously" means "5 hours median" i.e. 50%, but I just realised my managers and clients would almost always understand this as "I swear on everything I hold dear this will take 5 hours and not a single minute more" (which is why I avoid sharing my estimates publicly). Funny how it works. Great observation, thanks.
