The Importance of Estimating: An Exploration of Estimating Philosophy, Methodology, and Practical Application to Scalable Resource Planning.
This session will strive to shift common perceptions around estimating, encouraging more productive, strategic practices that improve project outcomes for freelancers and agencies alike.
Building on this philosophical shift, attendees will learn how to produce more reliable estimates based on granular tasks; how to use simple yet powerful estimation techniques such as the PERT method; and how to gather the information needed to produce an accurate estimate.
Finally, based on 4 years of experience managing the 10up production team, I’ll share best practices, tips, and tools for successfully communicating estimates internally and externally as well as how to leverage estimates to inform agency resource planning and growth.
