Essential Elements of a Credible Cost Estimate "Lunch and Learn" Webinar December 13FREE 45-minute Webinar
This webinar will discuss the many components of a good cost estimate including the top 10 causes of a poor cost estimate, the causes and benefits, the tools and databases, and what the analysis should be telling you. We will also discuss how to achieve marketable results. Lunch and Learns are presented from a technical perspective; this will NOT be a sales pitch. "Lunch and Learn" educational Webinars address Program Affordability Management topics that our customers feel are vitally important to today's procurement, cost management, and program management professionals. “Respect the Triangle” White Paper Now AvailableTrying to define the exact project scope, the exact level of quality, the exact cost and exact schedule virtually guarantees failure because there is no room to maneuver. Most project teams employ tools and techniques to organize their work to meet project constraints—linking and managing the relationship between time and resources, but they cannot compute costs from scope changes. Are you respecting the triangle? This paper discusses the three Project Killer Archetypes that are often the root cause of a broken triangle, and will help you create the framework to integrate four critical dimensions or Scope, Schedule, Budget and Quality. Customer Success Story: Government IT ModernizationProgram Managers are faced with every day challenges—making the right decisions, modernizing information technology systems with significant oversight, and assuring success even when so many failure factors exist. One U.S. Civilian Government Agency undertook a large-scale IT modernization program and found a way to boost their success rate, satisfy their oversight organizations, and surpass their internal goals. The Agency engaged PRICE Systems to provide an independent cost, schedule, and risk assessment and to use TruePlanning® IT Life Cycle Estimating Suite as the project cost modeling system.
