The work is never just “the work” (2022)
The article description is &quot;A deep dive on why projects always overrun and a framework to improve future estimation&quot;<p>This was a personal investigation into my faulty estimation skills, off the back of a small project which became a medium project, which became a large project with no shortage of surprises, overruns and pain.<p>The blog post was born from an honest and thorough postmortem where it turns out most of the work was simply not expected – and so wasn&#x27;t accounted for.<p>I then went a stage further and attempted to outline more general reasons for this and to visualise how might look in terns of time and effort. It&#x27;s not meant to be scientific, but is certainly an interesting way to look at things.<p>Anyway, I hope someone finds it useful.
