Bottom Up Estimating

[tbrozovich]

Hi all,

New to MS Project and I am trying to set up a template for estimating work, and then creating the baseline to compare the actual against.



My issue is the initial estimating part. I have the office's billing rates, the project and sub project duration (fixed) and the fee for each phase of the project (fixed). What I want is for the hours for each worker assigned to each phase to change and give me an estimate hours to keep within our fee. So I want to give the total cost (fee), duration and who is working on the phase and I want Project to calculate the 'Units' percentage to fit the budget.

I hope I explained that correctly and is clear what I am looking for. Thank you!
