How I Actually Create A Bottom-Up Project Estimate

Hey folks,

Wanted to share some of my thoughts on how I approach a detailed, bottom-up, hours-based estimate using the Estimate Template in our Templates library.

Like the other videos in this series, I talk a bit about my mindset when it comes to estimating and then I walk through how I’d use and modify the template.

In future videos I’ll dig into other estimation methods that I enjoy : )

The exact Google Sheets version of the template that I use in the video is linked below.

Watch time: 20 mins (but I won’t be offended if you watch it at 1.5x)

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Galen
