Estimating time for a web project accurately is something many attempt everyday but few manage to succeed at. There is no one formula that will satisfy every situation and the chances of estimating what a project will cost exactly are almost zero. But it is possible to drastically increase the accuracy of your web project estimates by: 1. Identifying the reasons why underestimating is so common 2. Understanding why it is so important 3. Resisting the temptation to get granular 4. Creating a consistent, methodical and re-usable estimating process 5. Analysing the estimated versus actual data from multiple projects to identify trends “The Devil is in the detail: When people say that the devil is in the detail, they mean that small things in plans and schemes that are often overlooked can cause serious problems later on.” (via Effective Strategy To Estimate Time For Your Design Projects | How-To | Smashing Magazine
