What is front end estimation examples?
In front end estimation we are going to replace the original number with a number that is close by but only has one non zero digit. Examples: {20, 300, -50, 1,000, 80,000}. For example take the number 32, the choices to replace it with are 30 or 40 (they both have only one non-zero digit).
How do you play the team estimation game?
