Overview: Two keys to good estimation practice are information gathering and change management methods. How and when the information needed is gathered is largely a function of the lifecycle approach employed. This is true of change management also, pinpointing the importance of lifecycle design. Any good systems lifecycle will incorporate the tried and true concept of stepwise refinement. And stepwise refinement is a terrific tool to the knowledgeable planner/estimator. Estimates with high confidence levels require strong lifecycle management and estimation skills and, most important, a dedicated team. While difficult to achieve, the associated rewards (and satisfaction) of professional achievement are well worth striving for.
