+ | |||
+ | Estimates are not perfect and cannot be made perfect. Depending on who you believe, more time spent on a estimate will either not improve the estimate, or reduce the accuracy of the estimate. The point of estimating is to provide data to the Product Owner, but everyone should understand | ||
+ | that the data is just that, an estimate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | That does not mean we should not look to improve our estimates. The best starting point for analysis is to compare the estimate against whatever | ||
+ | the final reality was. With stories we have the estimate. To get the " | ||
+ | estimate have been". Did it take longer / shorter than expected?" | ||
+ | |||
+ | Beware of blaming problems on estimation. Sometimes the thinking goes "our plan did not work so we need to improve our estimates" | ||
