We've got a video recording from our client. It's about their current application(windows application) usage. In this video the presenter navigated us to different screens showing how they do their stuff. For example generating bill and its summary. Our task is to create a new web application that will be replacing this old windows application. Now, Mr. PM wants us to suggest estimated time. Task 1: Go through the video and take screen shots. Task 2: Create an excel sheet and write estimated time for UI and Back-End for each screen. What's interesting is we don't have an iota of idea what happens in the background when the user clicks, say button 'Generate Summary'. We are totally unaware of the business logic. :wtf: Another interesting fact is that there are plenty of buttons on each screen and the client only used one or two in many cases. So, we know that 'Generate Summary' takes us to another screen but we don't know what the other buttons does? :doh: Here comes another bomb from Mr. PM: "Please include the estimates for those other buttons on the screen as well." :(( What about selling burgers?
Garbage collection could be interesting - and it has a plus side: You wouldn't need to be 100% retrained... :laugh:

In the Summary they add up their input and write it to a database. Expect that after the buttons comes some selection. I would make a "fat estimation" and discuss. Selling burgers isnt an alternative. What about buying a farm "somewhere in the nowhere" :rolleyes:

Its simple to figure out the estimate for this project, its the duration of the video recording!
"Coming soon"

Reject it until you get a proper specification sheet :thumbsup:
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

First estimate how much Time do you need to prepare this Time Estimation! Or is it already estimated by Mr. PM :|
Yup. He has already come up with the estimate to estimate. Befor EOD!

:laugh: Good one.

Yeah. "Fat Estimation" can be an option for what we see. What about estimating something that we have not even seen? BTW, do you know any place at "nowhere"?

Sure sir. Let me estimate the time to prepare that one for you. :laugh:

}Me: I can't do that until I get a proper specification sheet. Mr. PM: Then prepare a proper specification sheet first! (That's my prediction. And it's quite accurate based on the past events ;P )

You need to try to make him understand that this is not possible. Any estimation of design and development will be dependent on requirements. Another approach could be 2 days per control on screen (including labels and anything you see).
I would like to go with the second approach. Two days for each label(different numbers for other controls) :laugh: :thumbsup:
