Montgomery Scott recommends 4 instead.

A friend suggests doubling the number and increasing to the next unit — hours become days, days become weeks, etc.

I've certainly seen some environments — plural — where a task that should take 1 hour actually takes 2 days, and one that should take 2 days takes 4 weeks.

I don't know. Going from 8 hours => 16 days seems like quite the markup.

		The biggest surprise to me was the project managers and leads who refused the opportunity for going from the big numbers to the small one by allowing a faster development architecture.

By the book admiral, hours could seem like days.
