Most useful when you need independent analysis and risk assessment for a high-profile project. QSM consultants work with your managers and engineers to extract the relevant information about the system to be estimated. Our estimates include all the viable alternatives (buy vs. build, reduced functionality, additional manpower, incremental deliveries etc.). We use our database of projects to sanity check the estimates and identify areas of high risk, then document the results and brief the project team and management on the alternatives. The QSM product(s) used are SLIM-Estimate and SLIM-Metrics.
