Slack is an agile practice--and in planning for successful sprints that yield consistent, high-quality results, it is essential.
In a software development project, estimates are important to help us predict how much time will be necessary in order to finish a set of activities, or to select and prioritize scope for a release or iteration.
Follow discussions in any online PM community over a couple of weeks and you'll run across at least one discussion thread vilifying agile project management. But at least one practitioner is not quite ready to throw the baby out with the bath water...
