... these studies which have for a few years now given rise to the claim that "research shows that people are be)er at rela5ve than absolute es5ma5on" do not in fact seem to square with that claim.
This doesn't entai l that re la5ve es5ma5on doesn't work -‐ only that it is not proven.

The idea behind the #NoEs5mates approach to sogware development
isn't to eliminate es:mates
[it is] to explore other ways to solve problems
without specifically asking, 'How long will it take?'

@sebrose h)p://cucumber.io
Giving sogware projects an API ... [is] about
“yes, yes, yes”.

@sebrose h)p://cucumber.io
Ask yourself whether the value you get from es5mates jus5fies the cost of producing them.
#NoEs:mates is the banner under which people look for alterna:ve ways
of gerng the benefits that they want,
without the waste that they don’t.
