Estimates are complete waste!!!

I don't like them, but maybe they have a use?

We must have them; no alternatives.

Estimates are nice, but I care about getting what I need.

• What's important about that?
• What will that get you?
• What is your prediction?
• What's working that you can build on?
• What is at risk?
• What would an experiment look like?

Have you assessed if your estimations actually provide value?

Estimation can reduce the desire to improve the measurement system.

Estimates can show many different things that could be amiss in a team/organization

You need to do something to set goals/expectations

People are not objects

People are not obstacles to be overcome.

Agility is a revolutionary mindset, not a collection of frameworks and practices.

The job of our age is to hospice the structures and processes that are dying.
