Project Cost Estimator

Abstract

Project Cost Estimator is a web based tool for an organization to estimate the cost, size, effort and duration using previous data of completed projects of the organization. There is major issue in estimation of project as it is a very critical activity. Any wrong estimation can cause a huge loss of the organization. Project cost estimator will help the project manager of the organization to estimate the project in an efficient way. There are four estimation models are implement in this project. These models are function point, use case point, empirical model and basic cocomo model. Function point and use case point models use historical data of organization for estimation purpose. Project’s actual metric is maintain in the organization which contains size of project in KLOC (thousand lines of code), effort in person month, duration in months and cost in rupees. This metric helps to get the productivity factors of effort, duration, size and cost .PCE provides the facility to auto calculate the size of project in many languages and conversion of amount into different currrencies. While empirical model and basic cocomo model use some static equations for estimation
