Hi,
A number of project failures can be traced to poor estimates. One way to reduce that is to get the people on the team to own their part of the project. With ownership comes commitment.

While you, as the project manager, still need to “trust but verify”, it is easier to talk about milestones and deliverables when they are based on information provided by the people doing the work.
