    Take a look at the project documentation section of our web site.


  3. How does FDSC arrive at estimates?

    Rough order of Magnitude estimates (ROM)

    • Wide Confidence Range of -25% to +75%
    • Usually given at the initial stages to arrive at a Project Go / No Go
    • Project Sizing techniques used at this stage to arrive at this stage are usually PERT, Direct Estimation, Three point estimation and Derived estimation techniques.

    Detailed Estimates Fall into Two Categories Based on Accuracy

    • Budgetary (Confidence Level of -10% to +25%)
    • Defined (Confidence Level of -5% to +10%)

    These estimates are usually given when the requirements have been clearly defined. The estimation techniques used at this stage are FP , use cases etc..

    When the scope is fluid or flexibility is required we recommend our customers to go in for Time and Material based pricing

  4. How do I track the status of my project?
    • Status review meetings
    • Status Reports
