40 - Estimation is a Problematic Practice of Companies Doing Dangerous Things. A #Noestimates advocate makes the claim that having a ±10% accuracy for estimates of cost and duration is a dangerous thing. We develop these reference classes using Agile Function Points. Use these to develop a Systems Model of the products .
