planning-estimation

Provide a transparent estimate tied to decomposition and risks Change inventory or work decomposition Blockers/dependencies/quality/process constraints Estimate by phases (analysis/implementation/tests/rollout) or by components Pick an estimation method (three-point, t-shirt, points) and name it Provide a range (min/likely/max) and assumptions List factors that can move the estimate

What could change the estimate

</output_format> The estimate is based on decomposition, not on "gut feel" A range and assumptions are provided </quality_rules> Do not give a single exact number without a range when there is uncertainty Do not mix an estimate with a delivery commitment </do_not>
