Demonstrate an understanding of estimating a unit of work and the implications of late delivery

Table of contents

 

Specific Outcome 1 : Demonstrate the ability to interpret given cost/benefit analysis documentation.

·         1. The demonstration identifies different parts of a cost/benefit analysis.

·         2. The demonstration explains the purpose of the different parts of a cost/benefit analysis.

Specific Outcome 2 : Prepare a time estimate for an element of work.

·         1. The time estimate is based on a breakdown of the component in the logical parts for estimating.

·         2. The time estimate is based on an understanding that the estimate should include the implementation/testing of interfaces to other components where applicable.

Specific Outcome 3 : Prepare a cost estimate for an element of work.

·         1. The cost estimate is based on a breakdown of the component in the logical parts for estimating.

·         2. The cost estimate is based on an understanding that the estimate should include the implementation/testing of interfaces to other components where applicable.

·         3. The cost estimate demonstrates an understanding that being assisted by other resources or people could escalate the costs

·         Specific Outcome 4 : Prepare a cost estimate for an element of work

·         1. The demonstration confirms the understanding that an element delivered is often a subset of a bigger deliverable.

·         2. The demonstration explains the affect of late delivery on other related components.
