SWAG

1 min read Updated Jul 28, 2017 Project Victor archive

SWAG is an acronym meaning “Sophisticated Wild Ass Guess”. It is used in the military world as well as in the software development discipline. It basically means that there is not enough time or information to deliver an exact estimate of what is needed, and as a consequence, an estimate is made based on what is available, be it part of the required information, be it nothing.
