Right, but when people talk about the job design team, they are talking about the job design team, not the programming team. So this piece of information is relevant.

your estimate is assuming all actions and changes are approved on their first submission which probably isn't true.
Even so, the only jobs that get 30 new actions are new ones. The old ones get 3-5 new actions/traits, with hardly any changes usually, unless they are being completely revamped. That on its own would reduce this estimated time to a fraction of what I put and then if you split in half between 2-4 people it would become even more fractional than that to design them.

So when people say a few people isn't enough for the job design team, even the most extreme estimate I come up with doesn't fit the 2 and half year span between expansions.
