    Always give worst-case time estimates. If you make it quicker, you're a hero. If, as is more likely, the worst case occurs, it won't appear to be a fuck up!

    The following happens quite often as well:

    PM: Can you do it in 4 weeks?
    Dev: No. But I think I can in 8 weeks.
    PM: so 5 weeks it is then.
    Dev: ...

    Morgan Freeman: the project took 12 weeks to finish
