If I have understood the proposition, this tool will let a developer/freelancer PRESENT estimates to customers. Presenting estimates is essential but trivial.
But as everyone knows, estimations feature two non-trivial problems: one, knowing how to budget X hours for Y task and two, knowing what tasks are needed in a project. Both of these are a factor of experience, familiarity with the domain etc.
So do you foresee your service offering default "project task-lists" with sample effort? Without that, honestly, a simple Excel spreadsheet easily offers far more functionality.
I do hope you take this as a serious feedback and not just as criticism from a stranger on the Internet. There is a market-fit problem with ALL estimation tools and I am not seeing anyone address it.
- gugl 11y agoThank you so much for your interesting feedback! The full featured vision for agilescope is indeed more than just the estimate. Making Estimates simpler is just the start. The next step is the integrated time tracking and some project task-list features. It will answer two very important questions in projects: how much time/money is left and how much of the actual tasks are already completed. Does that answer your question? Also your mentioned "market-fit problem with ALL estimation tools" sounds interesting. What do you think is that market-fit problem? Maybe we can find a solution for it. Thank you so much.
