cost estimation principle 1

subject fact

cost estimation principle 1 helps to make an estimate more accurate because
you will be more likely to account for all the subsystems and activities
if you under-estimate the time required for some subsystems or activities, this should be at least partly compensated for by over-estimates in other places

is a subtopic of 11.3 - Cost Estimation
is a kind of cost estimation principle
recommends dividing the project up into individual subsystems, and then dividing each subsystem further into the activities that will be required to develop it, then making a series of detailed estimates for each individual activity, and summing the results to arrive at the grand total estimate for the project 2001-08-30 14:55:06.0
