Accurate Estimation:

The Key to Successful Project Planning & Scheduling

Many organizations do not have the experience or skills

necessary

to estimate project tasks

As a result, VP has developed an estimation model that has

proven

to be reliable and accurate

The model assumes effort estimates are proportional to the

complexity of the work to be accomplished

It provides a way to calibrate complexity to duration


Estimation

Project

The VP Estimation Model™

Recognizes that effort estimates are proportional to the

complexity of the work to be accomplished

1. Identify all the units of work in the project, e.g. use cases

2. Identify what drives the complexity of the work

3. Break each complexity driver into four levels of effort

4. Define each level of effort as objectively as possible

5. Go through each unit of work, assigning a level of difficulty

score

based on the definitions in (4)

6. Calibrate the difficulty scores to actual durations using

historical

data were available
