Estimating a task means figuring out how long it will take to finish it. To do this, you can break the task into smaller parts, like steps in a recipe. Think about similar tasks you've done before to get an idea of how long it might take. Talk to your team members to get different opinions and insights. Consider any problems that might come up and add some extra time for them. Look at how long similar tasks took in the past to help you make a good guess. It's important to keep learning and improving your estimation skills based on what you've experienced before. Stay open to changes and talk with your team to make sure everyone is on the same page.
