I didn't care about estimates but needed another level of granularity in lists to help us decide next steps. I was always pushing for lists of things and putting them in order, like good project managers do. I did care about the lists themselves, but early in a project, I cared more about the thinking Adams was forced to do in order to generate the lists. There were two missions clear in my mind: Ensure simplicity. Plan the project to be easily managed.
