Knowing the costs of a project

Is cost prediction hopeless!?

As an entrepreneur you need to estimate the cost of a project early. How could you predict the size of a project, when all you got is a customer meeting, where needs and fantasies were thrown on the table?

But eventually the client requests: "How much does it cost?"

You meet the pricing decision. Too much turns the client away, too little makes you pay for the project.

How much work is the project?

With Effort Prediction Reports you can estimate the size of project in ideal person days. This is the most basic statistic you need to know, whether you juggle multiple projects at once or fully concentrate on the single endeavor.

What is the value of a project?

From the estimated size you can easily derive the costs that will occur and choose a pricing strategy.

But future is uncertain !?

When you don't know much, you take the risk of being boldly wrong. Wrong price decisions have consequences: they cost. With Effort Prediction Reports you can choose the amount of risk you are willing to take.

Customers don't know what they want,

tell them how much it costs.
