    Heard from management: We need more accurate estimates.

    I think they forgot what estimate means.

      It is not possible to give more accurate estimates.

      Yes we understand it is not possible, but we really really want more accurate estimates so you need to make more accurate estimates.

          And for good reason. The estimate will usually get longer because the more you look the more tasks, questions and dependencies you find. I’m starting to think they don’t want accuracy at all.

        Some people do not care what words mean.

        A lot of them wind up charge of stuff.

      Engineers: We need more accurate SOWs and less feature creep.

      Management: Please add this other feature in the same time period
