What are Project Estimation techniques? Accurately estimating the cost, time and resources needed on a project can be one of the Project Manager’s most the difficult tasks. This is because nearly all projects contain some degree of uncertainty — some more than others. Planning for these uncertainties, and estimating them, represents varying degrees of risk. […]
