  A friend suggests doubling the number and increasing to the next unit — hours become days, days become weeks, etc. I've certainly seen some environments — plural — where a task that should take 1 hour actually takes 2 days, and one that should take 2 days takes 4 weeks.

      The biggest surprise to me was the project managers and leads who refused the opportunity for going from the big numbers to the small one by allowing a faster development architecture.

  By the book admiral, hours could seem like days.
