Let's face it, development estimations are:
😠 Hard
🔴 More often than not inaccurate
🤦🏻 Frustrating for everyone involved

You'll often see estimations that look something like this:

We need to uncover what's inside the buffer and explore ways to reduce it.
This template helps you approach estimation more strategically. It goes beyond providing a mere number for your roadmap—it helps you identify inefficiencies in your development process. These insights can guide you in addressing broader issues that require attention.
