Finish projects exactly on time and budget

Hell of a title, right? Nothing too fancy or witty - just saying it as it is: you can estimate your project exactly on time. Sure, it requires some effort, but it's not that hard. You will be able to do it yourself by the end of the session.

IT projects fail by default. Failing doesn't mean the project did not  launch - it just did not  accomplish any one of the following:

• Finished on time

• Finished within budget

• Clients are happy

But this problem can be solved. We have found that getting the price offer right is the most critical part in the process. By having a very detailed breakdown of the project, we are able to communicate and set expectations with our clients early. Later on, the price offer acts as a map to the success of the project.

In this session, we will demonstrate how a typical project is estimated - from A to Z. We will learn how this same price offer can also be used for pre-sale, how to do follow up, and even when you should avoid writing a price offer.

Additionally, you will:

• Learn how you can apply this method and write your own price offers

• Get practical tips on how to monitor your project in real time

• Learn how to resolve cases where time is exceeded

Furthermore, I will share the positive impact of writing detailed price offers had on our company and how it can be applied to yours. How we changed our devs' on-boarding process, and gave better tools to our account managers and sales team.

The important give away should be that you will understand that there's a way that doesn't require super skills and that you can use right away, to improve the budgeting and delivery of your projects.
