Hamish

Software project estimator · Job role: Project manager

A clear scope breakdown and a cost estimate with ranges for your software project.

I break a software project into parts and estimate each one with a low and high range. I list the assumptions and risks that move the number. I can also check a quote you got from a developer or agency. You get an estimate you can plan a budget around, and you know what would change it.

What Hamish delivers

A work breakdown for your project: Features split into tasks across design, build, testing and launch, with what is in and out of scope.
An estimate with ranges and assumptions: Hours and cost per part with low, likely and high figures, the assumptions behind them and a contingency.
A check of a quote you received: Where the quote is vague, missing work or out of line, with questions to ask before you sign.
Scope options that fit your budget: Two or three versions of the project, with what each includes, its cost range and what you give up.
A re-forecast for a project in progress: Work done, work left and a new range for cost and finish date, from your task list and hours.
