That's why you should give him two copies of the book he likes
So he can read it twice as faster -
@lostpirate Just do this, go into his office and tell him that you need some coding manuals read through. Tell him it took an hour to read just the 1 book. As such he should be able to get both read in an hour

eldamir12298yHmm. I don't do a lot of estimation, but isn't he kinda right? A task is measured as X units of work, and different developers may produce different amounts of units of work, depending on their skill level. The estimate remains the same in that instance.

unknown18358yAsk your boss to make an estimate for your new salary if you finish the job within the time he wants (the second estimation he wants). If he says a number, you should say a number much higher than that and say it's all the same.

Estimates must always match the value that the boss has already decided will be in the budget before they even asked you for estimates and it's too late, the business team has already approved his estimate and now you're stuck fulfilling their estimate.

My boss asked me to do estimates for some tasks.
I did it.
He told me that was too much time.
I told him that those were the estimates taking into account the experience of the team.
He told me the estimates were independent of that.
I asked if an estimate, for the same tasks, for a team of interns should be the same as for a team of seniors.
"Of course they are the same!"
Funny thing is that he even says he supports scrum...
