Jon,

If they are doing estimating now, and the know that their estimates are
consistently too low they must have actual numbers to compare against the
estimates. Can't they use the actuals they have to go back and build an
estimate that works for them, with their staff, doing their fire-fighting,
coding their applications, on their 400?

Thanks,
-Walden

Subject: Project Estimating


I have a query from a customer who's seeking "Rules of Thumb" for estimating
development effort for AS/400 RPG projects.    They have problems with their
estimates being much too low, and are trying to become more accurate.  An
example of the types of things they would like to document would be, based
on x
files, y screens, and z updates, a typical program might take xx days to
develop.

I've been out of production work for too long to guestimate this - any got
any
ideas they would care to share?
