Estimation Techniques expands the leader's toolkit beyond intuitive guessing.

Build-up and break-down methods reveal the components that make up the total. Time limits, extremes, and best-, likely-, and worst-case scenarios make constraints and uncertainty explicit. Prior experience, comparable cases, and expert advice add evidence from outside the immediate team. Clustering, subsets, pilots, and prototypes create useful information before full commitment. Gut feeling can provide a final signal, but it becomes stronger when checked against data, alternatives, and actual outcomes.
