Project Estimation Guide

Overview

This skill helps create accurate software development estimates by systematically breaking down projects into estimable tasks and assigning effort by role. Output can be delivered as Excel spreadsheets using the xlsx skill, and tasks can be pushed directly to Jira to create a project backlog.

Estimation Workflow

Step 1: Clarify Project Scope

ALWAYS ask the user about project maturity level before estimating:

Level Description Multiplier
PoC Proof of Concept - minimal viable functionality, no production concerns 0.3-0.5x
MVP Minimum Viable Product - core features, basic quality, limited scale 0.6-0.8x
Production Full production - complete features, security, scalability, monitoring 1.0x
