When I started my career effort estimates were such a nightmare for me. They were really keeping me up at night and I was thinking what can I do to get it right. In the last decade since I've been working as a project manager, I tried a lot of effortestimation techniques. Some have been working for me, some didn't.
In this classI'm sharing with you theknowledge and experience that I learn in over 10 years:
- Methods of estimations which Iuse and that gave me the best results in over 100 projects that I managed
- My methods of crosschecking that the effort estimated in projects are covering the team effort and entire company is sustainable
- My secret principle that Iuse every day to estimate and to get better: bases of the estimation principle
- Analysis of the most common causes of effort deviations and how to apply the bases of the estimation principle in each situation
- How to can improve your effort estimations
In this class I bring 2 innovative principles:
1. Document your estimations - bases of the estimations principle
2. Keep the baseline you based your estimations on - because if the conditions don't change there is a high change your estimations will be right
