Estimate

A numeric forecast of the probable value or result of a variable, such as project cost, resource needs, effort, or schedule duration.

Key Points

  • An estimate is a forecast, not a commitment, and carries uncertainty.
  • Often expressed as a range with a confidence level and documented assumptions.
  • Based on data and techniques such as expert judgment, analogous, parametric, bottom-up, or three-point estimating.
  • Supports planning for budget, resources, schedule, and contingency reserves.

Example

The team estimates the testing phase will require 160 hours (+/- 15%), two testers, and a cost of $12,000, based on historical data and a three-point estimate.
