As a graduate student (twice in two different fields) we always started the first semester with a design of experiments course. In this course, we learned about statistics beyond the physics and engineering (systems engineering) needs and how to sort out bad data from good data. You're bad at estimating - WHY?

I've seen estimates abused by bad managers, so let's NOT estimate and that will fix the behavior of Bad Managers." This, of course, is a fallacy on all levels. The first thing to do is NOT fall for the fallacy that NOT Estimating will fix the behavior of the bad manager. Let's look at what an estimate is.

This, of course, ignores the need to know how much of that $50M minus the $1M am I willing to loose? Related articles.

The conjecture that we can make decisions in the presence of uncertainty without estimating the impacts of those decisions is without any principles that can be tested beyond personal anecdotes of I know people who spend other peoples money without providing estimates.

It is the job of the project manager to foresee risks, create an impact estimation and define how to respond to the issues which will arise throughout project life cycle. Of course getting feedback is a good sign of leadership, but you need to evaluate all feedback you get and see if they fit your project’s scope and road-map.
