A range communicates uncertainty more honestly than one exact date. A range gives decision-makers useful planning information while exposing remaining risk. Saying a task will likely take three to six weeks is more realistic than naming one exact date before understanding the work. Estimate ranges can narrow as research, scoping, and implementation proceed. Developers should avoid giving one exact deadline when the work is not understood.
