Estimation Techniques Built for Real Projects
Some projects are clear and straightforward. Others involve uncertainty, risk, and evolving requirements. Doofer helps you adapt by offering three built-in project estimation templates — each based on proven estimation techniques. Point Estimate – For clear, single-value time predictions. Min-Max Estimate – For tasks with best- and worst-case ranges. PERT Estimate (Three-Point) – For complex workflows using average calculations.
Each project can be started with the method that matches your needs best.
Point Estimate – When You Know What You Need
This template allows you to enter a single time estimate per task or role. It’s ideal when work is predictable or you have strong reference data from previous projects.
Min-Max Estimate – Flexible Estimation with Ranges
Input minimum and maximum time values to reflect uncertainty or buffer. Doofer calculates the midpoint and supports safer planning when precision is not guaranteed.
PERT Estimate – The Smart Way to Handle Risk
The PERT template uses optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely estimates to generate a weighted average. It’s great for team collaboration and detailed forecasting.
Mix Methods and Create Better Proposals
Use different templates in the same project or across versions. Doofer lets you compare outcomes and choose the best approach before sharing estimates with clients.
Share Estimates Built on Trusted Methods
Once your template is complete, you can export estimates as PDF or CSV. Every method supports full cost and time visibility — ready to present or collaborate on.
