Few days back I was having discussion on a requirement with one of my friends. I had to provide an estimate for that requirement.
The requirement involved creation of a new Business Component (basically copying an existing BC, giving it a new name and making some field changes in it), View, Applet and a Link.
I thought that I can put this together in 8 hours or may be less but my friend suggested that you should be providing estimates based on some standard and not how quickly you think you can complete a requirement. You might not be the one who might be working on it in the end.
Then it struck me that how cool it would be to have standard way of estimating a Siebel requirement otherwise there can be lot of variation in estimates depending on person who is doing it. Also this kind of standard can come in really handy in case you are working on a new project and need to provide initial estimates.
I was thinking that atleast big companies must be using some kind of model or a standard template or may be even a tool to actually do this, but who can provide more information about this???
Who else then such an experience rich community of Siebel Unleashed
So, guys please do share your experience about Siebel Estimation. I would love to know and develop some kind of standard model (if not already there) helping us in providing Siebel estimates easily and quickly.
