Time Estimation Required

Dear Team,

 

I require a rough estimation relating to creation/testing of Modules/Dashboard/List. Lets assume that the design part has been already completed & we are in Sprint Build stage. 

 

I have categorized the difficulty level into 3 parts - Low(Simple), Medium & High(Complex)..

 

Modules -                                                            

Input Modules - Low_________Med_________High________ (Nos of mins/hrs)

Data Modules - Low_________Med_________High________ (Nos of mins/hrs)

Calculation Modules- Low_________Med_________High________ (Nos of mins/hrs)

System Modules- Low_________Med_________High________ (Nos of mins/hrs)

Output Modules- Low_________Med_________High________ (Nos of mins/hrs)

 

Dashboards- Low_________Med_________High________ (Nos of mins/hrs)

List- Low_________Med_________High________ (Nos of mins/hrs)

 

I require a rough cut/estimation only.. Please let me know if you require any more details.

 

Thanks

Abhishek

    @CommunityMember111277 ,

     

    I know what you are trying to get at, but it doesn't work that way.  The level of estimation should be based off the logic required, meaning one piece of logic could be handled in one module or four.  In addition, the effort required to complete a project will be based off the architecture of the model.  If you have bad architecture, not following best practices, etc, then the project will be extended due to workarounds that are unforeseen at the earlier stages.

     

    I would advise utilizing the Anaplan Way and going through the Planning Poker exercise where people go through the user stories and decide how hard/easy it will be to complete that user story.

    Hello @CommunityMember111277 

     

    This is a big "it depends" question

    If you are familiar with the "Planning Poker" methodology used in The Anaplan Way, then that should help you. if not, then you need to be familiar with it in general. Check here 

     

    A good first step is to divide each module (or actually each user story) according to the screenshot below

    Focus on estimating the time needed for a Meuim- Medium module. If based on the skill and knowledge of the team this user story will take 10 hours, then you can calculate how long it'll take each user story/module based on the  Base Line chart above. This way, you need to think about how much time ONE type of user story will take and estimate the rest relative to that.
