Discussion on: How do you get a decent estimate on the time it will take to complete a task?

If you think it would take X amount of time, then:

  • Double the time if you have done it before and know all the details.
  • Triple the time if you have done it before but not sure about every detail.
  • Quadruple the time if you have never done it before.

It works for me. Hope it helps.
