My Standard Estimating (and project work) Workflow
February 24, 2012
Today I decided to record what my workflow is when I get a new potential project.
Maybe you’re a new client and what to see behind the scenes what goes on when you say, “Ryan, can you do this project for me?“. Especially if this is your first time working with me
For most of my client projects I use a tool (being released today, I believe) called Projector PM.
In the estimation stage I use Projector PM to create a list of behaviors (features, essentially) I see in the app. I’ll send you that list of behaviors and you can review them.
In the implementation stage I’ll invite you to projector PM. Here you can see some graphs: progress of the app vs allocated budget remaining. You’ll also get emails about what I worked on.
I ended up making two videos:
-
How I manage your project: My normal estimation and development practices if you want me to build something for you (length: 4 minutes).
-
My standard project estimating practices with Projector PM: Did the previous video interest you, and you want to know more details about how the estimation process is done? Or see more about Projector PM? Watch this video where I lay it all out for you (length: 20 minutes).
