Though, if we take 2 tasks, with an estimation of:
- exactly 1 day for task 1, and
- between 0.5 day (min) and 0.75 day (max) for task 2,
we get an estimation of 2 days for both together...

| * Development | 2-2 |

That's because of the rounding to the closest integer, done in the above
function.
Shouldn't we allow for 1 or 2 decimals?
Or is there a possible way to guess what the best rounding could be?
