Estimating Software Projects

Estimating is neither an art nor a science. There are no crystal balls or scientific formulas to accurately predict the future of a project. The key to successful estimating is having a well defined process that incorporates best practices with a parametric based analytical tool. An effective estimating process provides you with the ability to gain control of your project by producing a variety of data points which are used to make informed project management decisions and properly set end user expectations with regard to project schedules, cost and quality.
