π΄ Time Estimation π΄ β One of the most common problems programmers face, as a professional working in the tech industry which is controlled by deadlines, you are supposed to provide estimations for each task you are going to work on and you need to take into account the debugging time for completing certain features in the sprint. Estimates are important in software development. They can be a basis for price quotes and project schedules. Schedule delays cause problems and may compromise trust. We are always trying to impress ourselves for confidence and to impress our boss, so that time is so important to estimate in the right way. β What to do? β πΉοΈBreak down tasks The best way to make tasks more manageable is to break them down into a series of smaller tasks. Mini tasks will help you to figure out your workload and estimate single time for each component. β πΉοΈTime yourself appropriately This means to give yourself a buffer. For example, if a task would normally take 60 minutes, set yourself a buffer by keeping the time frame at 80-90 minutes. You never know what disturbance may occur. β π’ OR π’ ππππ β Have you ever heard about the 3-point estimation? In 3-Point Estimation Expected Value of a task is determined by calculating Mean of 3 different values.Β β These 3 different values are: Optimistic Value (O) Pessimistic Value (P) Most Likely Value (M) β According to the 3 values we can estimate times by 2 methods: β πΉοΈSimple Average: (O+P+M)/3 πΉοΈPERT Formula: (O+P+4ΓM)/6 β Above methods improve the Estimation accuracy and reduce Project Risk. β βHow do you estimate your tasks times?β β #codingmoments #codingviews #codingblog #developerslife #developerdiaries #technologysolutions #codinggirl #programmer #technology #TechnologyTheseDays #programmering #fullstackdeveloper #frontenddeveloper #coding #programmergirl #technology #software #softwarearchitecture #codingtime #softwaredevelopers #softwarefollower #javadeveloper #codingproblems #programmerproblems #mycleancode https://www.instagram.com/p/CAATzjVA-04/?igshid=h1wumyy965o1
