Questions for software engineers about estimates. Feel free to answer any of these in any order.
Have you ever had an explicit conversation about how to estimate projects? How did you learn?
If you feel that you were never taught the skill in any real sense, what do you feel you're doing at work when you're asked for estimates? Are you making it up? Have you developed your own personal guidelines?
On average, how confident are you in your own estimates? How do you measure success?
