This includes changing the number of resources and the type of resources used. Many times, there is more than one way to perform a task, and alternative analysis helps you decide between different possibilities.<\/li><li><strong>Published estimation data<\/strong>: something that project managers in many industries use to understand how many resources they need for a specific project. These are based on articles, research and studies that collect, analyze and publish data from other people and organizations&#8217; projects.<\/li><li><strong>Project management software<\/strong>: these often feature functions designed to help <a href=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/project-manager-role-transforming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>project managers<\/strong><\/a> estimate resource needs and constraints and find the best combination for the project in question.<\/li><li><strong>The bottom-up estimate:<\/strong> this means splitting complex tasks into simpler tasks and processing the resources needed for each small step. The need or cost of the resources of the individual tasks is then added together to obtain a total estimate. The smaller and more detailed the task, the greater the accuracy of this technique.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In another article we already talked about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/project-estimation-techniques\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">project estimation techniques<\/a>.<\/strong><br><a name=\"activities\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;Estimation of activities&#8217; duration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have finished <strong>estimating resources per activity<\/strong>, you have everything you need to understand<strong> how long it will take to complete each activity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Estimating the duration of a task means starting with information about that specific task and then working with the project team to develop a <strong>time estimate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the time you will start with a rough estimate and then refine it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you talk about estimating project time, you may have already heard of effort. If you&#8217;re interested in learning more about it, you can check this article about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/effort-duration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">effort and duration<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the five tools and techniques to create more accurate durability estimates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>The evaluation of the experts<\/strong> that will come from the members of the project team who are familiar with the work that needs to be done.<\/li><li><strong>The equivalent estimate<\/strong>, i.e. when looking at similar activities from previous projects and how much time they took.<\/li><li><strong>Parametric Estimation<\/strong>, i.e. linking the project data into a formula that provides an estimation.<\/li><li><strong>The three-point estimate<\/strong>, i.e. when three numbers come up: a realistic estimate that is more likely to occur, an optimistic estimate that represents the best scenario and a pessimistic estimate that represents the worst scenario. The final estimate is the weighted average of the three.<\/li><li><strong>The Back-up Analysis<\/strong>, i.e. adding extra time to the program (called emergency reserve or buffer) to take account of additional risk.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Activity duration estimates<\/strong> are a quantitative measure usually expressed in hours, weeks, days or months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing to keep in mind when estimating activity duration is to determine the effort required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Duration is the amount of time an activity takes, while effort is the total number of people-hours required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, for example, two people work a total of 6 hours (3 hours one and 3 hours the other) to complete an activity, the duration is six hours. However, if these two people worked the whole time (simultaneously, for 6 hours), the duration would be 12 hours.<br><a name=\"planning\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Project planning and critical roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The project program<\/strong> must be approved and signed by the stakeholders and functional managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ensures that everyone is familiar with the program, including dates and resource commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, (written) confirmation will be required that resources will be available as indicated in the planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once approved, the program will become the baseline for the rest of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The progress of the project<\/strong> and the <strong>completion of activities <\/strong>will be monitored compared to project planning to determine if the project is running as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A delay in any of the activities in the <a href=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/critical-path-project-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>critical roadmap<\/strong><\/a> will delay the entire project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/project-resources.png\" alt=\"project resources\" class=\"wp-image-13062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/project-resources.png 1280w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/project-resources-630x420.png 630w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/project-resources-1130x753.png 1130w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/project-resources-705x470.png 705w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/project-resources-450x300.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a name=\"equalization\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resource balancing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Resource balancing is used to examine and resolve the <strong>unequal use of resources<\/strong>, usually related to people or equipment, over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the execution of project planning, the project manager will attempt to plan certain activities simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the project progresses, however, there are situations where more resources &#8211;
