Transcript

On a lighter note next minute this topic, one is called a visitor. So we have our estimations. It could be anyone analog that's top down parametric bottom up, then expert judgment and then three point estimate, but there is a call of visitor out there is something which is actually keep us busy, because we are dealing everything to the last moment and the last moment becomes ad hoc solution and then we pour time and then work schedules we don't know what is happening. So we always look busy, we are not being efficient, we are not giving the results that we should be giving. We are not working on that we are not our our output is not as valuable as it should be. But we are just busy letra because we are as a human beings have that tendency of delaying things in the last moment.

Not all definitely not Not all an absolutely not all, but generally people they procrastinate they want to a are just saying okay things are happening. So we do get work experience to fit the time that is a Parkinson's Law productivity drop because we know we still have time. Then target gets busier, the team gets busy somewhere as they start something as or you have something, some other tasks to divide. Then last minute reserved some last minute requirement panics, more help is required because you don't know if you are delaying things for the last moment based on your early successes, you might get busy, you might get delayed the applica the results. So this is called a busy trap. And we all get into it when we usually go into ad hoc meeting management or adult life management.

And then the last minute, we want to do a lot of things and then everything because what happens is you have delayed the first activity to the last Let them all activities are already delayed to the last minute. So and even if you are, if you will gain some time, then you will procrastinate, then you will say okay we have a little bit time, let's do something else. This is normal, but it has nothing wrong in it, but you need to control to it. As I told you, you cannot be on your toes for 18 months project, you have to have high tides low times a little bit of easy time. So this is all part of the part and parcel of the product. And the next is very interesting.

A joke that I would say is, this is important, but you have a month to finish it, or one month to finish it. I'll start right away. And then I'd smarter to wait until the last minute and then make a big show on how hard you are working to meet the unreasonable deadline. One of the reason for all the teams that they want to have This is again that is where the Agile concepts are very important for us to understand even in the fixed time and in the even in the water waterfall method, that your communication your team environment to be collaborative, trustworthy communication should be open everybody should feel supported, supported. Everybody has this feeling that yes I am not alone into it we all are into it together, whatever will happen, this will this will success as a whole team success failure the whole team's failure, although in a fixed one and even in the Agile your neck is online, but to provide our team provide an org, the organization project organization and environment which is which will give your team an environment where they would be beneficial.

They could go and do the work at their best to do the value. So you said that right all right in front of him, it will, it will start was that the freaky part? So you are saying that smarter to wait until the last minute. But you said that in the right in front of him? Yes, it will still work that the freaky part. Everybody knows that it is going to happen and even then it is going to work.

So this is where I conclude my discussion on the estimation part of it. Multiple estimations we went through. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll try to answer as soon as
