How companies around the world are dealing with time estimates in 2022

Have you ever underestimated your time efforts, or overdelivered running projects and delivery times late? Perhaps it’s the client who requires too many changes, or perhaps it’s the way the company is operating that doesn’t account for unpredictable changes that are likely to happen with every creative project?

In this 1.5h-long session, we’ll explore how companies around the world are dealing with time estimates in 2022, exploring the entire workflow from start to finish, project estimates, scope of work, deadlines, how to deal with clients and sales, capacity planning and magical story points.

Target audience

This workout is for web agencies and freelancers – interface designers, UX designers, developers, project managers, marketers.
