If you have good developer providing honest estimates, no data protection concerns and they diligently provide actuals agile tooling like in Jira can provide great results.

But that all depends on culture. The poster seems to be an engaged manager, pays attention to the data and uses it in a sane way and has hired a group of strong developers.

This is not your average setup…

It's hard to tell. How does someone truly know if the estimates are honest? It's more like the manager "assumes" it's right and fine.

The manager does not assume. OKRs are made or not. The delta is measured. Repeat.

You use an estimate to figure out if another estimate was accurate?
