Estimate task time and effort. But to correctly estimate start and end times , you first need to know what needs to be done at a high level, what resources you’ll require, and a basic outline of their order. At a minimum, you should know what type of person you’re basing your estimate on. Estimation. Decision-making.

We do product releases every 4-6 weeks, and these get deloyed to our SaaS servers – that cadence is well established. On the one hand, the delivery team is not able to precisely estimate when it can deliver a release. It is really based on their own cost of deploying a new release from a vendor.
