I still remember a moment about 10 years ago (note that I say "about 10 years ago" and not "about 3652 days ago") when a project manager showed me a plan that showed me progress on a task that had been estimated at around 2 months. "We're 52.5% complete on this task," she told me. That many significant figures on something as woolly as progress on an estimated multi-person task is just noise. "There *is* a chance you might be about half done, but even that's optimistic," I said.
