That book says the opposite though, we can definitely make good estimates.
It's just that estimating well needs people with training on how to do that, and then it takes substantial time to make good estimates. And there will still be significant error bars (if the estimate isn't a range, it doesn't count as an estimate). But it's certainly doable.
- UK-AL 2y agoPeople who ask for estimates, don't consider estimates with huge error bars good. Literally anyone can make estimate with a decent amount of error. To narrow down the estimate to what they want would take just as long as just doing the work.
- Scarblac 2y agoI know, but those people need the training.
