I read this somewhere about how to do estimates and it has stuck with me:

"Double the number and increment the unit."

This is a simple formula to calculate how long something takes to go from idea to production.

So, 3 hours becomes 6 days; 2 weeks is 4 months, etc.

Enjoy!

So 4 months is 8 quarters or 8 years?
