What is a Basis of Estimates?

The basis of estimates provides the supporting detail for project estimates. It includes the logic, data, and methods used to arrive at the estimates. This document is crucial for transparency and for defending estimates to stakeholders.

Key Sections:

  • Methodology: Analogous, parametric, bottom-up, or three-point estimating.
  • Assumptions: Factors believed to be true.
  • Constraints: Factors that limit options.
  • Range of Estimates: e.g., +/- 15%.
  • Confidence Level: Probability of the actual cost falling within the range.
  • Risks: Identified risks that impact the estimate.
