    This document describes an effort estimation model app that allows consultants to quickly generate estimates for client projects including timelines, budgets, and resource requirements. The app would streamline the estimation process by automatically calculating estimates based on pre-configured development components and rates, eliminating multiple meetings and iterations currently needed. A prototype of the app is presented demonstrating features like selecting development areas and components, viewing estimated hours by component, and emailing estimates.

    Story
    Segmentation:
    Consultants whose day to day work is to visit client and gather necessary requirement
    and provide them with delivery details like timelines required, budget estimates, resources etc
    then this APP will help them with all those details after initial configuration.

    Targeting:
    This App is for consultants in service industry or any company which provide software
    solutions or any other related services to clients.

    Positioning:
    This App will help consultants to avoid multiple iterations of mails with teams, meetings
    with client and team members, while providing estimates as and when needed instead of
    referring to multiple documents and discussing with multiple people.

    Point of View
    User
    Consultant with 25+ years of experience in software services industry

    Needs a way to
    • Quickly provide estimates for customer required developments.
    • Estimates/Billing Rates that are going to be committed with the clients should be up to
    date with industry and company’s standards.
    • E-Mail option to send discussed estimates to colleagues & clients for further review or
    as proof of requirement.

    Surprisingly/Because/But/So that
    A handy App is needed because if at the time of meeting if those details are not
    available handy then has to take notes of client’s requirements, send that notes to team, team
    will review and provide estimates and have to schedule another meeting with client to discuss
    revised estimates and for getting final approval.
    A handy App can avoid these multiple iterations of meetings and reaching out to different
    teams and saves lot of time. This App can be updated by a separate team at company level and
    all one has to do is just enter the developments and App will give all the necessary details.
