Newton's Fourth Law of Web Development

By adamg on Fri, 11/14/2008 - 5:31pm

When building a new Web site from scratch, multiply the amount of time you expect the project to take by four, then add three more days to whatever deadline you come up with. That might explain why boston.com's Micro-nano-quark-sized-hyper-local Newton site is now scheduled to launch on Monday, instead of today.

How to estimate a project: (1) Make your best guess; (2) Double it; (3) Increment the units.

Example: a project that seems like it will take one week will take two months.
