@tnibert @JenMsft Yeah… it’s pretty much a special case of the halting problem.

I think the only way to get sympathy from non-programmers is to try to relate it to really complex projects and attempting to both have a very accurate estimate of the time needed and up to the minute status of all the work completed against that estimate. Then ask how many projects like that they’ve ever seen that actually completed on time with every project member pulling their own weight.
