About the event

When a developer says: “It will take eight hours,” what is really included in those eight hours? Is it just coding or also thinking, debugging, refactoring, and dealing with surprises? Why do these eight hours sometimes turn into three hours … or even 42 hours? In this meetup, we’ll explore what developers actually estimate, where uncertainty comes from, and why numbers change. You’ve already heard what managers think about estimation – let’s hear the developer’s perspective.

The event will be interesting for:

  • Developers
  • Project managers
  • Project coordinators
