Re: HELP!

Figuring out time for a task is so variable based on experience levels and individual capabilities that we can't even get within 30% of our own team, much less others. The rule of thumb I use for a task we have not done before is to think about how long you think it will take, add one, and bump the unit of measurement. That is, if you thought two hours, probably three days. If you thought three days, probably four weeks. Keep it simple, especially until you know you can build simple, then ramp up.
