unwritten laws of data processing, circa 1973

[striegel]

For years I've maintained my own rule for estimating:

Given the time you know it will reasonably take to complete a task, double it, then move up to the next unit of time.

For example, if you know it should take 1 hour to complete a task, quote 2 days.

This method is more accurate than any other I have found. ;-)
