estimate

To create a structured estimate for sprint planning, provide a task scope and sub-tasks with sizes from XS to XXL. The system calculates a subtotal, applies a contingency buffer, and outputs a structured estimate with risk notes and a final total.

A contingency buffer in task estimation is an added time margin calculated to offset identified risks and assumptions. It is applied to the subtotal of sub-task sizes to produce a final, realistic total estimate for project scoping.

Yes, you can quantify effort across design, implementation, testing, and polish phases. You need to supply a list of sub-tasks categorized by these phases, along with their sizes, associated risks, and dependencies for accurate calculation.

To start estimating a feature or task, you need to define the feature name, its scope, a list of sub-tasks, associated risks, assumptions, and dependencies. This input generates an output-ready estimate with subtotal, contingency, and total.

The best way to break down project scope is to divide the feature into actionable sub-tasks and assign each a size from XS to XXL. This structured approach quantifies individual effort and clarifies dependencies for accurate roadmap estimation.
