How do you provide project estimates and project schedules?

Before the initiation of the project, we carry out a very comprehensive scoping and estimation exercise using intelligent tools developed in-house. We have onboard systems analysts who are adept at project analysis and estimation. On the basis of the work-load involved in the development phase as well as the project delivery requirements, we provide the estimate for the project. Once when the project has been estimated and scheduled, we use Microsoft Project Server 2000 for scheduling the deliverables and monitoring of the project progress. We have also developed our own custom-designed tool named TAR Manager for issue and bug tracking.
