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 |
