A 2025 study in PLOS ONE found that people overestimate time-on-task by roughly 45%, even when their memory feels fresh. That is not a discipline problem. It is how human time perception works. For agile teams estimating sprint capacity, it is also a planning problem. The automatic time tracking vs. manual question hits differently for […]

Velocity alone cannot answer two of those three questions. Time tracking can. Does Tracking Time Conflict With Agile? Let’s Settle This This is the objection that comes up before anything […]
