Location: Alaska Office Building room 123
Date: April 19, 2012
Time: 12:00-1:30 PM
Join the PMI Juneau Region Group on April 19th in the Alaska Office Building at noon for the presentation of: Cost Estimation
Presentation Description:
- Cost estimating is the process of converting technical requirements and solutions into financial predications. Cost analysis is the process of collecting and translating historical data into usable information for developing and defending a cost estimate. Without well-thought cost estimates, projects are destined for failure – an estimate is the key ingredient in the planning and management of a project. This webinar is designed to show participants some of the best practices and processes in completing a cost estimate that holds true whether the project is a manufactured product, business service or multimillion dollar defense project. The webinar will discuss some of the key practical techniques and use of the TruePlanning model to complete high quality estimates that are on budget and schedule.
