Cost estimation in project management is the process of forecasting the cost and other resources needed to complete a project within a defined scope. Cost estimation accounts for each element required for the project and calculates a total amount that determines a project's budget.

Instructions For Completing This Document

Complete the Project Name, NC, Project Manager Name, and Project Start Date. Define a standard unit of measure for all estimates (hours, days, dollars, etc) 

For each estimate complete the following:
  1.  Estimator Name: This column should be populated with the name of the individual providing the estimate 
  2. Description of Activity Being Estimated: This column should be populated with a description of the schedule activity being estimated 
  3. Estimate Date:  This column should be populated with the date that the estimate was performed. 
  4. Best Case Estimate: This column should be populated with an estimate that is based on the best-case scenario for work completion 
  5. Most Likely Estimate: This column should be populated with an estimate that, given the resources available to do the work, is the most realistically expected 
  6. Worst Case Estimate: This column should be populated with an estimate that is based on the worst-case scenario for work completion 
  7. Weighted Average Estimate: This column is automatically calculated using a mathematical formula to determine a weighted average of the three types of estimates and uses the formula (Estimate=[Optimistic+[4*Most Likely]+Pessimistic]/6) to calculate that weighted average estimate.
