| ProjectExperts® Templates
Experienced team members may not need a full methodology to produce
successful projects.
| ProjectExperts
Templates provide the framework for a successful project:
- Initial or High-Level Plan
- Phase Plan
- Work Breakdown Structures
- Roles and Responsibilities
- Estimates and
- Schedules
|
 |
All in Microsoft Project Templates,
for easy planning!
Scalability
One of the features of the ProjectExpert templates
is our Scaling option. Based on our unique scalable methods,
simply scale the template to the size of your project.
For Example:
The appropriate project template is for a 3000 hour project,
and your project is a 4000 one. Run our Sizer
option to scale the template up by 1.3, and you have a perfect
plan for your project. Have a 1500 hour project? Scale it by
.5!
Projects With Evolving Technology
Client/Server, Web-based, and Component Design projects
do not work well by merely adapting classic methods.
For one thing, there is greater concurrency and iteration.
And the timeframes are more compressed. And, the addition of
servers, Software As A Service and other middleware add more complexity.
These project types can have a high rate of failure, as project
teams struggled with the complexity.
Our ProjectExperts' Template series, together with other THE Guide
components, such as KnowRisk® and The Estimating Guide,
provides a way to manage these projects, as opposed to "just
doing them".
Current ProjectExperts templates include Client/Server and
Web Development.
The Estimating Guide presents a selection of different estimating methods,
from SWAG to Expert, Consensus to Comparison, Algorithmic to Statistical.
Algorithmic methods include COCOMO II, Application Point and Function Point methods.
As well, we recommend that anyone who is serious about better
estimates, should purchase commercial software, in addition
to using our tools.
Speaking of the tools, Quest For Better Estimates® helps you
to document the information that affects the estimate, then
estimate the project multiple different ways.
| Here
is a list of the features:
- The 20 Questions
- Assumptions Worksheet
- SWAG Estimating
- Consensus Estimating
- Function/Object Point
- Statistical Phase Estimating
Of course The Estimating Guide explains how to use all the methods, with step-by-step instructions, as well as
explaining the industry standards behind the methods. And, for those who really want to improve their Estimates and
Actuals, we offer a 2-3 workshop on estimating methods.
