The discovery phase can for any individual case range from negligible effort up to close to 100% of the effort. Without a reasonable amount of discovery, the effort needed for execution cannot be determined. The discovery process leans heavily on the programmer’s expertise and experience. It can be a costly exercise and it is rarely possible to accurately estimate the effort that will be required.
The execution can range from trivial to complex and might lead to new discoveries impacting the complexity of execution in a positive or negative way. It leans mainly on the programmer’s skills and experience. Given the output of a comprehensive discovery process, the execution can be estimated reasonably accurately, but deviation margins can grow exponentially with the size of the estimated work.
