First of all, from the very begining, put in black and white what a timeline and what estimations really are. To do that, my recommendation is taking a closer look to Barry Bohem´s work mainly "Cone of Uncertainty". That all you need. With that on hand you can manage all related to timeline without problem.
Sergio, your focus on establishing a clear understanding of timelines and estimations from the outset is both practical and essential. Barry Boehm's "Cone of Uncertainty" is an excellent reference for demonstrating the inherent variability in project timelines, particularly during the early planning stages. By leveraging this framework, project managers can set realistic expectations, anticipate risks, and manage unforeseen changes flexibly. This approach ensures better alignment with stakeholders and enhances the team’s ability to adapt and deliver effectively.
