What happens if you shift focus from "accurate estimation" to "reliably shipping by a date"? . If your project has no uncertainty, there is no need to estimate. The risk is created when we have not accounted for this natural variances in our management plan for the project. First, let's establish a principle.

In experiments that ask people how much they would need to win to risk losing $100 on the flip of a coin, the answer is always over $200, which has financial parity. People are not going to forget COVID-19 for a long time, and will likely behave disproportionally to the risk of a similar event. We genuinely do not like losing things.
