A guide to estimating percentage complete and remaining time.
I haven't looked at the problem. Completed: 0% Time esimate: about 2 weeks.
I've looked at the problem. Completed: 50% Time estimate: about 2 more weeks.
I've implemented almost everything. All that remains is the difficult stuff that I don't really know how to do. Completed: 90% Time estimate: about 2 more weeks.
I've done everything. All that remains is documentation, code review, tests and error handling. Completed: 99% Time estimate: about 2 more weeks.
I still haven't finished documentation, code review, tests, or error handling. The truth is I've been gold plating what I already wrote. But I just saw another problem that seems more interesting. Completed: 100% Time estimate: 0 more weeks.
