"How much is it going to cost? "How long is it going to take?"
Would you sponsor a Dynamics 365 or Power Platform project if your team couldn't confidently answer those two little questions? I wouldn't. And I wouldn't expect my stakeholders to either.
Good estimates are critical to getting business cases approved and to getting proposals shortlisted. Yet many Microsoft business applications teams are relying on out-dated estimation techniques borrowed from the construction industry. These techniques founded upon requirements specifications, design documents and Gantt charts that take months to prepare. These documents resist change, are out-of-date as soon as they are published, and are never accurate.
In Estimating Business Applications you'll learn why estimates are critical and why some alternative approaches such as estimating in units of time like hours or days or t-shirts don't work.
Instead, you'll learn how to use user story points to estimate your requirements. First, you'll learn what user story points are then how to use them as a team to estimate your requirements and get your projects approved.
Estimating Business Applications is a free mini-course. It'll take you a couple of hours. It includes quizzes along the way to test your understanding and reinforce what you've learned.
If you'd like to learn how to estimate business applications projects and create even better estimates, you're invited to unlock the advanced sections of the course and discover how to take your estimating to the next level and achieve your Estimating Business Applications certificate.
