To create a three-point estimation for project planning, you provide the project scope and acceptance criteria. The tool then generates optimistic, likely, and pessimistic values per task to compute a PERT total and risk buffer.

PERT estimation is a project management technique that uses optimistic, likely, and pessimistic task bounds to calculate a weighted total. It derives a risk buffer and recommended commitment to account for uncertainty in project delivery.

You generate an estimation document by inputting your project scope and acceptance criteria. The output includes a full breakdown of tasks, underlying assumptions, risk factors, and a path for saving the estimation file.

Yes, you can use PERT estimates for feature-level risk management. The process identifies specific risk factors and assumptions per feature, producing a risk-adjusted commitment to ensure more reliable project delivery.

The best way to structure project estimates for reliable commitments is applying the PERT method. This approach captures optimistic, likely, and pessimistic values, yielding a risk-adjusted commitment instead of a single static number.

You should avoid three-point estimation when your project scope lacks defined acceptance criteria or when tasks require no risk management. The PERT method relies on structured assumptions to calculate accurate risk buffers and commitments.
