But it turns out that people are quite good at setting and spending budgets. If we tell a team that they have six weeks to build a great calendar feature in Basecamp, they’re much more likely to produce lovely work than if we ask them how long it’ll take to build this specific calendar feature, and then break their weekends and backs to make it so.
Instead of asking estimates from developers, have them commit to this 1 month worth of features. If estimates are far, what can we move to the next month or how do we make it leaner
