Ismertem egy nagy agilis élharcost, körme szakadtáig ragaszkodott a pont alapú becsléshez, nem volt hajlandó senkitől időbecslést kérni, aztán hogy-hogynem, csak egy határidőt kérdeztek tőle mindig :D
A managerek mindig időt akarnak, csak általában rossz forrásból választanak. #noestimates
Finally, the end of that initial sentence is "…and helping others do it." We improve as a community through collaboration and communication. That can be fraught. E.g., the #NoEstimates tag began when Woody Zuill posted that his team had just finished a successful project without estimates.

I kinda hate it when I run across a whole discussion subculture that was out there for over a decade and I knew nothing about it.
Like #NoEstimates. I've long felt software estimation is a dead end, and only done to satiate the demands of naive project managers. They never worked, and won't work.
Estimates suck because they're just guesses dressed up as math. Devs hate 'em, PMs cling to 'em, and clients treat 'em as contracts. Reality? Sh*t happens -> scope creeps, tech debt bites, and priorities shift. Stop pretending estimates == promises. #DevTruths #NoEstimates
Focalisez-vous sur la valeur, pas sur les estimations! #Inspiration #NoEstimates #Agile

just putting it out there..
Osea, ni te cuento que hay un movimiento de #NoEstimates
Love it! I've supported #noestimates since I came across it. Unfortunate branding though. #nodrama might have worked! Haha 🤣
La video du talk de @victorlambret.bsky.social au sujet du #noEstimates à #devoxxFR est également sortie.
Je vous la recommande chaudement. youtu.be/xHs6vqIuBtE?...

Critical Systems Thinking and No Estimates
Day 34 of looking at books through the lens of #CriticalSystemsThinking
💡 #VascoDuarte #NoEstimates proposes an empirically backed solution to estimating complex problems. If the organizations would rationally analyze this approach, they'd probably adopt it. But that doesn't happen...

Critical Systems Thinking and No Estimates
Day 33 of looking at books through the lens of #CriticalSystemsThinking
💡 #VascoDuarte #NoEstimates critiques traditional estimation process as unadept for complexity, uncertainty & unpredictability of software development. Delivering value is better than meeting arbitrary estimates.

Dessin décrivant mon parcours comme une allégorie d'un voyage en mer ou je suis de plus en plus enthousiaste. De gauche à droite: une bouée SQL, une plongée dans des puces électroniques avec la mascotte Tux, Un bateau avec une voile Red Green Refactor et la plage d'une caricature d'île déserte.
La semaine prochaine je serais présent à deux confs:
- Lundi à Lyon craft pour parler artisanat logiciel
- Vendredi à Devoxx Paris pour parler #NoEstimates
Si vous y allez et que la vulgarisation scientifique en dessins vous intéresse n'hésitez pas à passer :-)
If you're curious about #noEstimates and other alternatives to estimation theatre, then I highly recommend this 6 part series from @neil-vass.com.
It's written in an unbiased and digestable way, and links to a world of other useful content and reading recommendations.

Product owners receive clearer signals. Developers avoid artificial precision. Stakeholders understand the scale of work without translation.
Sometimes the best solutions are the obvious ones.

"Your opinion on the #noEstimates movement in the context of an agency?"
Ultimately it depends on your clients and stakeholders.
Those that percieve you as a partner or consultant have the potential to benefit from value pricing.
But growing a relationship with deep trust is step one.
#NoEstimates doesn’t mean no deadlines—it means using real data instead of guesses. Track cycle times, reduce variability (but not entirely), and you’ll forecast deadlines with confidence. Aim for consistency, and your team will thrive while hitting targets.
My still relatively new CTO is reversing years of relatively agile ways of working by offshoring the engineering and asking use stop using story point estimates in favour of 'ideal days'.
I've been rolling my eyes so much my orbits hurt
#noestimates
@donnerbella Das einzige was dagegen hilft (macht aber sehr viel Arbeit), ist die Aufgaben kleiner zu schneiden und/oder genauer zu beschreiben.
Oder eben #NoEstimates …
This is definitely a first. A customer wants to know when I'm going to deploy the feature I'm building, so he can include the date in the book he's publishing! 🤡

Uff today more than ever, #NoEstimates
Hey techies.... What are your thoughts on #NoEstimates? I remember some SPICY debates back in the day on this topic.
Happy New Years Eve Everyone!
To get ready for 2025 #NoEstimates discuss....
Guns don't kill product development. Estimates do. #software #softwaredevelopment #Agile #noestimates
Na real a taxa de erros é 100%, qqr técnica usada. Entao qqr coisa é boa o suficiente.
@allenholub.bsky.social fala bastante do #NoEstimates , se quiser se aprofundar
I've been around the software industry enough time to know that software is not factory work.
Companies would like it or not but inconvenience happens, bugs happen and a lot more things escape our control, investing time in something so error-prone is not useful for anybody.
