PLANOVA · Effort estimation
From weeks of estimating to a project plan in minutes.
PLANOVA is a web-based effort estimation platform. It uses the Putnam SLIM model, the industry's standard parametric method, enriched with your own historical project data.

Familiar gaps
Estimating by gut feeling.
Engineering bids often need weeks of manual effort estimation. The results rest on gut feeling and depend on who does the estimating. The result is lost bids, unprofitable orders and badly planned projects.
The solution
Plan reliably before you bid.
Three cases: best, realistic and worst case for schedule and effort forecasts.
Staffing over time as a Rayleigh curve for resource planning.
Run scenarios: what happens if we have to deliver three months earlier?
Your data counts: the model learns from your completed projects.
Who it is for
Wherever effort and schedule must be reliable.
PLANOVA suits software, machinery, hardware and mixed programmes. We have applied the underlying models and frameworks in real consulting engagements in automotive, medical technology, machinery and the food industry.
