Blogpost: 5 Considerations to Deliver Accurate Estimations

Some time ago I wrote about estimations and how to calculate the effort of the tasks in an attempt to facilitate the process of thinking and reasoning to transfer effort to time, not to impose a new scheme or format.

Interesting enough one of the comments I received was:

It does not make sense, I think the time and I multiply it by 6 and that's it.

Curiously, there is a lot of uncertainty in this method of calculating effort or time; it makes me wonder how customers can accept that method. But then again, these are estimations and it is valid if that is your particular way of working. As an alternative, I would like to focus on what does each task that I estimate have to do with other tasks, other chores, other best practices and whatever my experience reminds me to be aware of in such task.

If you use the Agile methodology, you will be familiar with the following development lifecycle:

Abandonment Rate:

Shopping cart abandonment is a term frequently used in the ecommerce world. Shopping cart abandonment (a.k.a cart abandonment) refers to the issue when the digital customer adds the desired product to the virtual shopping cart and leaves the digital property before completing the purchase. The abandonment rate is the ratio of the total number of abandoned shopping carts to the number of total initiated cart transactions. The metric is used to measure the performance of the digital shopping cart. A typical abandonment rate varies from 60-85%.

Abandonment Rate = Total number of abandoned carts / Total number of cart transactions
