How it works
Dowork is super easy to use and it doesn't require extra skills.
Step 1:
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
Estimation starts with proper work breakdown. Dowork helps you easily breakdown your work into smaller pieces. Then you can start your estimation using "Three point estimation" approach and verify with "Standard Deviation".
Step 2:
Collaboration
It is crucial to avoid estimation by single person. Invite your colleagues, brainstorm and create the work breakdown structure together.
Step 3:
Review Estimations
While the work breakdown structure is created together, estimations are put individually. When everybody submits their estimation team can see the differences in green or red correspondingly if differences are low or high. Project owner resolves issues by selecting individual estimation for each task.
Step 4:
Staffing
An accurate work breakdown structure is not enough for proper estimation. It is always important to consider the uncertainty level of scope knowledge. Besides, it is crucial to consider overhead and other disciplines buffering.
Step 5:
Timeline
Organize your project timeline using Gantt chart. Here you can distribute your tasks between disciplines, assign or change the start date by dragging on Gantt chart, or just ask Dowork.ai to automatically order tasks based on the start date you select.
Summary
Now, out of all the numbers you have calculated you need a few important ones which show how many days you need to deliver the project and how much it will cost. Happy estimating and good luck with your projects!
