7. Estimates have one significant figure. Will it take 4 minutes, 4 hours, 4 days, or 4 weeks?
8. Estimates are uncertain. Is the uncertainty 4 minutes, 4 hours, 4 days, or 4 weeks?
9. Uncertainty grows with the estimate, and how far into the future the task is supposed to kick off.

@polotek@social.polotek.net 10. I'm confident in the estimates because we agreed to them. 11. There's success all over the place. There's success when you ask the questions, there's success when you make the agreement, there's success when you hit the estimates, and there's success when you renegotiate them. All of those are positive steps in the right direction.
