What problem does it solve?

Plan.EstimateEffort addresses the challenge of producing reliable, defendable effort estimates for development tasks by combining multiple estimation methods, including PERT, complexity analysis, and risk assessment, with transparent rationale.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multi-method estimation: PMs can generate estimates using PERT, complexity points, and historical analogies, all with confidence levels.
• Rationale-rich outputs: Produces structured JSON and human-readable Markdown reports that support planning, budgeting, and scheduling.
• Use Case: Plan timelines and resource needs for a new feature across design, development, testing, and deployment, with risk-adjusted estimates.

Quick Start

Provide a task breakdown JSON to generate a complete effort estimate with confidence intervals.
