Sandbagging can also lead to nothing ever being worth doing.
Of course, it is shocking how many projects are started without anyone knowing anything other than the end date.
In my view, if the project is of such marginal value that a precise estimate is needed, don't even start the project - instead, find something more valuable to work on.
- ghaff 2y agoMaybe that's true of major projects, especially when there are maybe unknown unknowns. (And maybe not.) But there are a ton of deliverables that should be fairly predictable that come with people who have downstream dependencies on them. (Promotion, launch plans, etc.) When something is late it can cause a lot of scrambling and wasted time/money. [And just to add, I'm mostly speaking to work I'm creating and delivering--for the most part individually. And to the degree that I'm depending on client reviews, etc. that's in the contract.]
