Project estimation : Methodology for estimating web application development effort
Project estimation, in other words, effort estimation for software development has always been a challenge and there are no standard solutions in the software industry even today. We have tried to address this problem by developing a methodology based on the deliverables of a typical web application. This project estimation methodology, called MVC points identifies the models, views and controllers needed to be developed for an application based on the proposal request. This methodology can be used for Java applications, .Net applications directly and can be used with modifications to PHP and Python applications also. This method was presented in Project Management Leadership conference (2005) and is available as a freely downloadable project management resource through the link below:
Project schedule : Creating usable project schedules
Familiar with the scenario of a project schedule developed in MS Project getting consigned to cold storage after some time and project being driven by ad-hoc schedules drafted in Word or Excel? Why does this happen? Is it because of a tight schedule? Not necessarily. It is largely because the schedule was not drafted with complete structure and rigor and hence it was not usable. Not all tight schedules are unusable. On the other hand, even liberal and lax schedules can also be unusable if not drafted properly.
