I'd think the main problem...

Submitted by Jeff Kenton (not verified) on August 22, 2005 - 8:47am.

I’d think the main problem to overcome with scheduling everything is estimation. Knowing how long a chunk of work will take to complete is a HUGE skill to have.

Or maybe it just seems that way because I don’t have it yet. Practice makes perfect?
