Yeah, the execs want certainty but the best you can do is create best case scenarios with wiggle room. I lean on the conservative estimate side because I’d rather underpromise and overdeliver but sometimes others don’t like that approach.
I think loose projections with monthly and quarterly reviews is the way to go.
Yes, agree that under promising is always better. However, this becomes challenging when the financial targets are set extremely high, and every initiative potential need to deliver to the max. It is a problem in the system.
Can relate!

It’s definitely systematic and doesn’t account for all the potential variables.
