Start rough with t-shirt sizes, then tighten with single-point or three-point estimates when more detail is needed. Confidence intervals are built in, so you know how much certainty you really have — whether it's confidence to deliver by a date or room to offer a discount.
Assumptions aren't just slapped onto tasks; they roll up to show how much time and money each assumption is responsible for across the project. Actuals feed in automatically from timesheets, updating every task and deliverable in real time. Everything lives in one place — no spreadsheets, no templates, no guesswork — just connected, synced-up estimates and actuals.
There is even more to see in the Status Report
Project management doesn't have a single pain point. Yet most apps treat it like it does — Jira for tasks, another tool for timesheets, spreadsheets for estimates, and endless data gymnastics for everything else. How are you supposed to run projects “on time and under budget” if timesheets don't connect to tasks and deliverables, don't feed the actuals, and estimates are yet another spreadsheet abandoned after kickoff — while paying thousands each month in licenses! 😬
We were fed up, so we built an affordable project management app where timesheets automatically link to tasks, and actuals update in real time — side by side with estimates on the same screen. With weekly, monthly and quarterly status reports out of the box — with no per-seat pricing.
Already have a project management tool? That's fine. If your estimates are still stuck in spreadsheets, start with just one project in your free trial. Create your estimates here and discover the Visual WBS along the way.
