Avoid surprises before deadline

If the project manager receives ETC estimates from the employees each week, it strengthens the project planning. Deviations from the time schedules are seen right away, and the project manager can react in time before deadline. The project manager is a step ahead with the ETC estimates, and can enter into a dialogue with the employee about the reasons for a higher than originally estimated time consumption. In this way, the project manager can avoid surprises before deadline.
