My product manager is doing the opposite - pushing us to replace "bandwidth" and "effort" with "time". We're now expected to provide an accurate hour estimate for all work items, projects, and bugs. Getting it done later or sooner is penalized on the metrics.

"Hey I need you to change the colour on this thing here. How long will it take?"

If you get it done sooner. Just don't submit it. You are still working on it. Only on the day you predicted you finish it.
