*About PERT*

PERT is a method to improve the estimation of Tasks and Projects.

The basic principle of PERT is the estimation of three values for every task. A optimistic, realistic and a pessimistic estimation. The realistic estimation should be the normal estimated duration of a task. The pessimistic value is a worst case estimate and should have a probability of 1-5%. The optimistic value is a best case estimate that nearly never will be sufficient to finish the task and should have a probability of 1-5% - like the optimistic estimate. These values are used to calculate a more realistic estimation for your tasks and projects.

But remember: Estimations are still just estimations! The PERT Method is just a tool to think more about your estimations. It can help you to get more realistic values.


About PERT Estimate*

PERT Estimate can be used to easily estimate single tasks or projects. The Quick-Tab calculates the estimation of a single task. The Project-Tab can be used for more complex Tasks or small Projects.

PERT Estimate dont force you to a specific granularity. Its up to you: Estimate in minutes, hours, days, weeks or "virtual units" like story-points or pomodoros.

Because estimations are never exact, PERT Estimate will round the results. The results of the estimation can not be more accurate than the values you type into the App.
