Video Description
"Just give me a date. I don't want probabilities." Sound familiar? Here's the thing: you've been giving exact dates for years. How's that working out?
This video shows you how to handle the "exact date" conversation honestly - and give stakeholders real information they can actually use.
What you'll learn:
- Why exact dates are false precision
- The honest answer: "80% by March 15th, 99% by March 29th"
- How to give stakeholders options instead of lies
- Why this is a business decision, not a technical one
- How to stop hiding uncertainty
Key insight: Exact dates feel precise but they're usually wrong. Give stakeholders the data to make real decisions instead.
