   * [[https://vimeo.com/144673973|10 Reasons Estimation and Planning Fails and What to Do About It]] by Troy Magennis. Great pitch. Love the basics here.

Key learnings include:
     *  If you are in the non-linear region of utilization for your project (i.e. greater than 80% utilization) then estimation will always fail.
