The Law To Know

Module 3

Planning and estimating: from deadlines backwards, with buffers

A plan is a promise to yourself and others about what will happen when. Good plans start from the deadline, break the work into steps, and allow for the unexpected. This module teaches how to estimate honestly, plan backwards and build a week that survives contact with reality.
