The perils of estimation. April 23, 2014. 8220;the more detailed you estimate, the more the total will tend towards infinity”. Dan North and Associates. Business people want estimates. They want to know how much it’s going to cost them to get a solution, and they want to know how likely it is to come in on time and on budget. And of course quality is not negotiable.
