I’ve tried dozens of estimation methods.
7 tips that actually deliver results:
0. Break it down:
🪄 Divide the project into smaller tasks. Estimate each piece individually for better accuracy.
1. Use historical data:
🪄 Look at past projects. Use similar tasks as a reference to guide your estimates.
2. Add buffer time:
🪄 Always include extra time for unexpected issues. It’s better to under-promise and over-deliver.
3. Consult the team:
🪄 Get input from colleagues. Different perspectives always help to refine your estimates.
4. Be realistic:
🪄 Avoid over-optimism. Consider potential roadblocks and complexities (it's the one I struggle the most with).
5. Reevaluate regularly:
🪄 Update estimates as the project progresses. Adjust based on new information or changes.
6. Communicate clearly
🪄 Set clear expectations with stakeholders. Explain assumptions and potential risks to your PM.
How are you estimating?
