# Effort Estimates

A considered estimate instead of a number pulled out of the air

## What this does

Somebody has asked how long a piece of work will take and you would rather not guess. This works through the task's complexity, what it depends on, how fast the team has actually been moving, and where the risk sits, then gives you a structured estimate with a confidence level attached.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Estimate how much work this task is
- Say how confident we are in that number
- Account for dependencies and risk in an estimate

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Effort Estimates

This estimates the effort in a task by looking at its complexity, the things it depends on, the velocity you have historically had, and the risk factors around it.

What comes out is a structured estimate carrying confidence levels, so the reader can see how firm the number is meant to be.
