How it works

1

Enter scope and team

Feature count, average days per feature, and team size calculate parallelised dev time.

2

Add external dependencies

Each dependency adds buffer time for approvals or third-party waits.

3

Get a calendar estimate

A 20% contingency buffer is added to the parallelised total.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the estimate include a contingency buffer?

Unknowns reliably surface once development starts — a 20% buffer is a common planning practice.

How should I handle external dependencies?

Start them in parallel with development immediately — they're often the real bottleneck, not code.

Is this a commitment I can promise stakeholders?

Treat it as a planning estimate — validate against your team's actual historical velocity before committing publicly.
