Prioritization techniques are needed both at the stage of completing the product backlog as well as at the stage of the sprint backlog. What is prioritization? Prioritization is a development process that helps determine top-priority tasks from the secondary ones. And it also allows you to spend a minimum of effort and get the maximum result.

Agile estimation is about evaluating the effort required to complete each work item listed in the prioritized backlog, which, in turn, helps improve sprint planning. Estimates can be hard to grasp. How should a company know the amount of time it will take to complete a product backlog item so far in advance? How can they account for unforeseen impediments that arise? This is where Agile estimation techniques come to the rescue.

DSDM is an Agile method that focuses on the full project lifecycle

There are numerous specific techniques for generating budgets, estimates and plans.  The techniques can be sorted into three basic categories.  Hybrids exist that the leverage components of each.

Costs of developing software vary and it’s absolutely logical – each project has peculiar features, the scope of work, timeframes and so on. That’s why during project management cost estimation is crucial on the initial stage to plan a budget properly and achieve successful results eventually.

The purpose of this step is to identify: Residual Defect Estimation Model, Test Estimation Model:, COCOMO MODEL, PUTNAM'S MODEL and STATISTICAL MODEL

The purpose of this step is to identify the software project risks, to assess their impact on the cost estimate, and to revise the estimates based on the impacts. Project risks affect all aspects of a software project: the organization, the personnel, the technology etc. One can distinguish between two types of risks:

Effective software project estimation is an important activity in any software development project. One of the main reasons software programs fail is our inability to accurately estimate software size. Because we almost always estimate size too low, we do not adequately fund or allow enough time for development. Poor size estimates are usually at the heart of cost and schedule overruns.

The most primitive metaphor for software development grows out of the expression "writing code." The writing metaphor suggests that developing a program is like writing a casual letter you sit down with pen, ink, and paper and write it from start to finish. It doesn't require any formal planning, and you figure out what you want to say as you go.
