So… You’ve been awarded a project. Or maybe you’ve been offered a chance to bid on a project, and need to provide an estimate. Or maybe, as in the linked story and example, you are an employee, a part of the collective, and are required to give an estimate to another department. It doesn’t matter if it’s a software project, a real world physical project, or somewhere in between.
I know I’ve been burnt by underestimating the time required, and it can be a painful process. Hopefully this article will shed some light, and more importantly some understanding on the subject of estimating time and creating a valuable quote.
