0 Project Estimation
Effective software project estimation is one of the most challenging and important
activities in software development. Proper project planning and control is not possible
without a sound and reliable estimate. As a whole, the software industry doesnt estimate
projects well and doesnt use estimates appropriately. We suffer far more than we should
as a result and we need to focus some effort on improving the situation.

5.1 Schedule of Activities

In project management, a schedule is a listing of a project's milestones, activities,
and deliverables, usually with intended start and finish dates. Those items are
often estimated in terms of resource allocation, budget and duration, linked
by dependencies and scheduled events. A schedule is commonly used in project
planning and project portfolio management parts of project management.

5.2 Cost Estimation

Cost estimate is the approximation of the cost of a program, project, or operation. The cost
estimate is the product of the cost estimating process. The cost estimate has a single total value
and may have identifiable component values. A problem with a cost overrun can be avoided with
a credible, reliable, and accurate cost estimate. An estimator is the professional who prepares cost
estimates.
