How to Estimate Resources and Effort for a Requirement

A requirement can have multiple resource roles. For example, a development requirement may need a manager role, a designer role, a developer role, and a quality assurance role. You can associate resource roles with a requirement and estimate the amount of effort you think it will take for each role to complete the requirement.

For information on how to define roles for selection in Product Vision, see the Administration Guide.

To estimate the resources and effort for a requirement you must:

  1. Add a resource role for the requirement.
  2. Estimate the effort for a requirement's resource role.
