"When actually estimating tasks, it's purely point based"

The problem is that project managers and other business units don't give two flying shits about points. They want to know when things will be done.

PM: "So, how long will it take you to have that new logging system implemented?"

Developer: "It's a five point feature."

PM: "So....two days, then?"

D: "Well, I dunno...it's five points."

PM: "Two days it is!" [puts deadline of two days from now into JIRA]
