At some point, your parceled-out work needs to be integrated with the rest of the project, so use those integration points in your planning. If you or the team aren't accounting for the integration of the work, you end up with mythical man-month problems. Everyone needs to be thinking about how their work intersects and integrates, or you end up with a spaghetti bowl. | |

I can in theory say that we can deliver both streams in 1 month. However, this would be an incorrect assumption if you realize that both streams require 2 Data Engineers each. Then the only solution would be to sequence the work. | |
| Oct 22, 2021 at 23:36 | comment | added | Kam | Thank you for your answer. Maybe I wasn’t too clear. Let me try again. My team is the one that tshirt size the work and breaks it down into stories/tasks. The problem is that if I take the work stream size it might lead to inaccurate predications on delivery ETAs. | |
