{{Short description|Process in software development}}
In [[software development]], '''effort estimation''' is the process of predicting the most realistic amount of effort (expressed in terms of person-hours or money) required to develop or maintain [[software]] based on incomplete, uncertain and noisy input. Effort [[estimation|estimates]] may be used as input to project plans, iteration plans, budgets, investment analyses, pricing processes and bidding rounds.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.infoq.com/articles/software-development-effort-estimation | title=What We do and Don't Know about Software Development Effort Estimation}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Cost Estimating And Assessment Guide GAO-09-3SP Best Practices for developing and managing Capital Program Costs|date=2009|publisher=US Government Accountability Office|url=https://www.gao.gov/new.items/d093sp.pdf }}</ref>
