3. Applying rules

To control the uncertainties involved in estimating task durations as effectively as possible, it is essential to implement best practices.

3.1 Schedule and working conditions

Estimates should be based on normal working conditions, without taking into account any constraints or unforeseen events that could disrupt the timely completion of tasks. Such contingencies will arise of their own accord (technical difficulties, customer requests for change, etc.)!
