The SPR KnowledgePLAN™ tool generates estimates for work (effort), deliverables, schedule, resources, cost and quality for the range of tasks that comprise a work breakdown structure for a software project. Task estimates are aggregated to determine estimates for project phases and the overall project and to develop a project schedule.

The results of KnowledgePlAN™'s estimates can be reported to address the needs of specific audiences ranging from project managers, team leaders and developers to personal and resource managers to senior managers.

At the completion of the course, participants will be able to:

generate and report on task and project level estimates for work, deliverables, schedule, resources, cost and quality using KnowledgePLAN™
tune the estimate inputs to address the specific requirements of their own projects
tune and override individual task estimates to address known task values and the impact of reuse
investigate what if scenarios, including the impact of changing project size or of alternating the estimating goal's focus between productivity and quality
interface KnowledgePLAN™ to the CHARISMATEK Function Point WORKBENCH™ and Microsoft Project™
