Basis of Resource Estimates Template

This Basis of Resource Estimates template is a project document that is developed to support a wide range of project types and sizes.  Generally, it provides resource estimates, identifies how the estimates are performed, and provides for the inclusion of supporting documentation. More specifically, our template:

• begins with a section that captures relevant project information;
• provides sections for documenting activity and task information; (E.g., it captures the task ID, task title, task description, and an estimated resource description)
• prompts the project manager to identify the estimating technique that was used and it provides a section for including supporting data; and
• includes a section for estimating all activity resources by category.
