Art of Estimation

Stop guessing, start esti­mating!

Esti­mating sup­ports good project management and business decision making. So how can we produce more accurate esti­mates of a project’s cost, schedule, resource and benefits? This short, inter­active tutorial will introduce the proven con­cepts of robust estimating.

But esti­mating is both a science and an art. By art, we mean a skill, a skill that needs to be prac­ticed and learned. For example, which methods are available, and is one better than the other? When is top-down the right approach, and when is bottom-up to be pre­ferred? How do you con­vince others to trust in your estimate? We will cover these and more in this tutorial.
