Magic estimation has never failed me, consistently delivering what it promises: sufficient estimation, consistency, and speed. Here’s a quick comparison between planning poker and magic estimation to help make the benefits clear.

A target state architecture allows us to think about current and future state, its problems, and aspirational solutions. It’s not any one single thing, not just a pretty drawing or technical model. And, it should incorporate the principle of “strong opinions, loosely held." #currentstate

Did you know... 1. Humans systematically underestimate how long it will take to do a task. 2. Humans are over confident in their own estimates. But there’s an interesting corollary to this research — and it’s one we can use in estimating our tasks.

If your delivery estimates are accurate, you can skip this story. The other 99.9% of you should read on. Seriously.

Modern prose has become mundane. Uninteresting. Words have meaning. Well, words should have meaning. But increasingly, not so much. So, fix the problem! #creativewriting

Did you miss...? Hiding complexity hurts us. It cuts out important facts and we lose fidelity, so explaining effort, cost, budgets, timelines... becomes TOO EASY. Tough problems look TOO EASY to solve. How can we find the right balance? #software #leadership

A target state architecture allows us to reason about current state, its problems, and designed solutions. It’s not any one single thing, not just a pretty drawing or technical explanation. Importantly, it needs to incorporate the rule of “strong opinions, loosely held." #technologyarchitecture

Hiding complexity hurts us when we need to explain effort, cost, budgets, timelines... yet we need to create abstractions and simplify, so we can reason about complex problems. How can we find the right balance? Here's a way you can do both! #complexproblems
