Estimates are just hypotheses. As a hypothesis, if you have more data, it will be great. If not, we try to come up with 3 types of estimates - optimistic, realistic, and pessimistic. All these are communicated with the stakeholders, so it's clear from the beginning. If we see that something is not going in the right direction, immediate communication is needed.

Great article, Akash, and thank you for including my latest article in your top picks!

Absolutely, Petar, I liked how you say estimates are just hypothesis. Behind every good estimate, people are fighting their inherent optimism bias. Thanks for sharing, glad you liked it.
