You are correct. We try to help "box up" a best practice/process based estimation approach. We've found it very useful and accurate over the past five years as its a modernized version of many of the best practices/research provided for by COCOMO, function points, use case points, etc ...

But I’m really excited to see that you seem to be thinking along the same lines I am — to me it validates that there might be something behind that way of doing things. ;)

Its called <a href="http://planixonline.com">Planix</a>. Would welcome your thoughts.</p> Niko, EditGrid looks very interesting, indeed! re: project estimation, We’ve devised a web2.0 application that focuses directly on custom software application development.
