Top Down Estimating in P3e

Hello Emannuel,

I would try to help you, but I need to know what you are
planning to do?

Do you want to make a "Top Down Estimate" in order to
compare your estimation with your schedule?
Which values do you want to estimate? (money, people, material? Anything else then money will be very difficult.)
Would you estimate the availiable money on the project and WBS-Level or also on EPS-Level?
Would you estimate the money in one block per EPS / Project / WBS or also by month?

Kind regards
Peter

I want to estimate money at both EPS and WBS levels.
Kind regards.

Hi Emmanuel,
You open your project with the view "WBS". You click onto the detail tab "Budget log".
The first level is the project itself, the others are the different levels of the WBS. Now you enter the appropriate figures.
Later, after you planned your activities with workload*price/unit and the expenses you’ll be able to compare on any level if your plan corresponds to your budget.
