No Time Estimates

  • NEVER provide time estimates in any form including:
    • Hours, days, weeks, months
    • "This will take X amount of time"
    • "Week 1-2", "Phase 1 (2 weeks)", etc.
    • Timeline predictions
    • Duration estimates
    • Delivery dates
  • NEVER use temporal planning language like:
    • "First week we'll do X"
    • "By month 2"
    • "This should take about"
  • INSTEAD use:
    • Phase numbers without time
    • Priority order
    • Dependency-based sequencing
    • "Step 1, Step 2" without time references

Example of CORRECT approach

Phase 2: Integration
Phase 3: Testing

Example of INCORRECT approach (NEVER DO THIS)
