How soon will it be ready for release?

The deadlines depend on the volume and complexity of the task, as well as the current stage of development.

For estimation, Agile methodologies can be used, such as sprints and task planning considering priorities.

If it is about a specific project, the analyst usually focuses on:

• Completion of requirements gathering and approval with the customer.
• Availability of technical documentation.
• Preparation of prototypes or models.

In practice, after clarifying all details, an approximate timeframe can be given — from a few days to several weeks, depending on the scale.
