Three-point estimation/PERT Analysis is useful in situations where there is a high degree of uncertainty and risk involved in the project, and when it is difficult to make accurate point estimates. It allows project managers to identify the range of possible outcomes for each task, and to make more informed decisions about resource allocation, project […]
Relative Estimation is an Agile Project Management technique used to estimate the size or complexity of a task or project by comparing it to other similar tasks or projects. Rather than providing an exact numerical estimate, relative estimation involves assessing the difficulty of a task or project by comparing it to other tasks or projects […]
The accuracy of an estimate is a measure of how close the estimate is to the actual value. The accuracy of an estimate can be affected by several factors, including the amount of information available, the level of detail in the estimate, and the method used to create the estimate. The Usage of different estimates […]
In project management, cost and schedule estimation refers to the practice of projecting the amount of time and money required to accomplish a project. This process entails identifying and assessing all essential tasks, defining the resources (e.g., people, materials, equipment), and estimating the duration of each activity. The information gathered and processed through estimation is […]
Parametric estimation is a project management technique that uses statistical data and mathematical models to estimate the cost and duration of a project. It is based on the idea that many project characteristics can be described and predicted using statistical data and that a mathematical model can be used to estimate the cost and duration […]
Bottom-up estimation, also known as detailed estimation, involves breaking down a project into smaller tasks or activities, and then estimating the time and resources required for each task. This approach allows project managers to estimate the cost and duration of the project by summing up the estimated costs and durations of all the individual tasks. […]
Analogous estimation, also known as top-down estimation, is a project management technique that uses historical data from similar projects to make an estimate for the current project. This approach involves identifying a previous project that is similar in scope, size, and complexity to the project is estimated, and then using the data from that project […]
Estimation Techniques and how to better estimates keeping in view the cone of uncertainty Project estimation, development, and monitoring go hand in hand. Effective project management requires consistent and repeated estimation methodologies to manage the limitations of scope, time, finance, and quality to ensure project success. This video from Project Management Series presented by Mudassir […]
