Missing entry: 6-8 weeks ==> Never If you're lucky, the programmer is Jeff Atwood (but it will still take a year.) More likely, the task will never be finished, unless management intervenes by splitting it into smaller tasks.

And feature B may be something you will need a specialist for, like fraud prevention or database replication.
