This seems to be a concept so hard to grasp for non technical managers.
By definition tasks aren’t that similar to other tasks, otherwise we would be a super crappy software shop that can’t provide semi-generic solutions.
Dev team’s mission is to solve unique problems to the stack. Discovery is a major time consuming task by definition, and can’t be properly estimated, as it’s an information problem.
