Improving your ability to estimate projects is a key component in completing projects within schedule and under budget.

Project estimation need not be an art – you can, as an individual or an organization, get better at estimating project cost and schedule.

There are key concepts and techniques that you can learn and apply over time that will significantly increase your ability to accurately estimate your projects.

Good project estimation requires the ability to understand the relationships between the five key project estimation variables:

1. Schedule,
2. Effort/cost,
3. Quality,
4. Size/functionality, and …
5. Productivity.

Learn about these relationships and how to use them in “balancing” their project objectives.

History data is a key to getting better at project estimation.

Jesse will look at “why” we don’t collect history data and “why” it is important to put the effort into not only collecting history data, but analyzing it and using it to generate better project estimates.

Presenter: Jesse Freese PMP (Linkedin profile) is well known for his interactive presentations on the topics of project management, leadership and change management at the Project Management Institute (PMI) national symposium, and other PMI events. Many of Jesse’s presentations deal not only with the “hard” side of project management, but also with the “soft” side. All of his presentations include “real-life” stories that are relevant and entertaining.
