The article description is "A deep dive on why projects always overrun and a framework to improve future estimation"
This was a personal investigation into my faulty estimation skills, off the back of a small project which became a medium project, which became a large project with no shortage of surprises, overruns and pain.
The blog post was born from an honest and thorough postmortem where it turns out most of the work was simply not expected – and so wasn't accounted for.
I then went a stage further and attempted to outline more general reasons for this and to visualise how might look in terns of time and effort. It's not meant to be scientific, but is certainly an interesting way to look at things.

Anyway, I hope someone finds it useful.
