Estimation is performative in games and software.
We focus on having "acceptable" answers instead of accurate ones.

The outcome?

Our Plans Fail. 
Estimation feels like a waste.

But what choice do you have? Your boss needs answers, because their boss needs answers. We want to show progress to the board! You have to “figure it out,” and usually your toolset is wholly insufficient to the task. You end up giving answers you don’t believe in, and your team feels like they’ve wasted their time or been ignored.

We can do better. But we have to understand what we’re dealing with. Most project managers, producers, and leaders are woefully undertrained in estimation, especially with how much time they end up spending on it. You might know many techniques, but no one has taught you when to apply them. No one’s trained you in how to communicate uncertainty and why the heck we even estimate in the first place.

That’s why I made this course. We all estimate all the time, and we could be getting real value out of it instead of frustration and low morale.
