GET STARTED
Organize your project with a dedicated tool featuring hierarchical groups, role-based tasks and real-time time analytics
Project managers waste hours fixing spreadsheet formatting and indentation. devtimate provides a ready-made structure designed for software estimation. You simply add groups and tasks, and the tool handles the visual hierarchy, numbering, and summarization automatically.
Don't reinvent the wheel for every login screen. Save your well-structured groups and tasks as templates. In your next estimate, you can drag-and-drop these pre-validated structures into place, ensuring every project uses your company's best practices.
Our structure inherently links scope to resources. Because every task in the hierarchy is assigned a specific role, you get an instant breakdown of necessary team composition. You can see immediately if a module is heavy on backend work or requires extra QA, allowing for better resource planning before the deal is signed.
Eliminate the chaos of scattered spreadsheet files and version control issues. Our tool offers a dedicated environment where every project follows a consistent structural standard. This ensures that any team member can open an estimate and immediately understand the hierarchy.
Build your estimate using a logical "tree" structure of groups (modules) and tasks. You can nest groups within other groups to create a deep, clear hierarchy that perfectly matches your application's architecture or feature breakdown. This allows you to organize complex projects into manageable sections, from high-level phases down to granular tickets.
Easy to use
Flexible structure
Nest like you want
Easy for eye scan
Every group and task includes a visibility toggle that allows you to "turn off" items without deleting them. When an item is toggled off, it remains visible to your team but is instantly excluded from all time and cost calculations. This is perfect for planning "nice-to-have" scenarios or optional features that you want to keep in the file but exclude from the current budget total.

Assign specific roles like Backend Developer, QA, or DevOps to every task instead of assigning specific people. Each role is fully customizable to match your agency's structure, allowing you to define distinct hourly rates for every specialist type involved in the project. This ensures your cost calculations reflect the actual resource value required for delivery.
Custom role definitions
Define specific roles like "Senior Backend" or "UX Lead" to match your agency's structure
Resource breakdown
Instantly view the total hours allocated to each role to plan your team capacity effectively
Choose how you want to estimate. You can toggle the entire project view to work in hours or man-days (MD) depending on client preference. Furthermore, you can estimate every task using min-max ranges (optimistic and pessimistic values). This allows you to account for uncertainty and risk directly in the estimation line, rather than applying a generic buffer at the end.
Hours or man-days
Toggle the entire project view between hours and man-days to match your client's preferred format
Risk buffers
Define optimistic and pessimistic ranges for every task to account for technical uncertainty
Tailor the estimation grid to fit your specific process by adding custom columns. You can insert "Select" lists for complexity levels, "Short Text" fields for internal notes, "Tags" for categorization, or "Formulas" to implement custom logic directly in the grid. This allows you to capture all necessary project context right alongside the cost estimates.
Custom logic & formulas
Implement your own math directly in the grid. Create formulas to automate specific calculations, like adding a percentage-based QA buffer or calculating risk ratios based on values from other columns.
Visual categorization
Go beyond simple numbers by adding context to every row. Use visual tags, status dropdowns, and text notes to clarify complexity levels, assign priorities, or leave instructions for your team.
Forget about manually updating pivot tables; the tool provides automatic summaries that update as you type. You get instant visibility into total hours and costs for the whole project, specific module subtotals, and a dedicated breakdown by role that shows exactly how many hours are allocated to each specialist type.
Instant group subtotals
Automatically calculate time subtotals for every group and nested module
Risk buffers
Track the grand total cost and hours in real-time with every single edit
Excel relies on manual formulas that break easily. Moving a row or inserting a column can disconnect your totals, leading to calculation errors that might cost you money or credibility.
Managing estimates in files leads to version chaos. Spreadsheets scatter your data, making it impossible to standardize how different project managers structure their scopes or where they save their files.
Spreadsheets are not designed for the nested nature of software projects. They lack built-in features like visibility toggles, role-based rate calculations, and drag-and-drop reordering, making the process of building a detailed scope slow and frustrating.

No. devtimate is a dedicated software project estimation tool. You build the estimate here to win the deal, and then export the data to tools like Jira or Asana for delivery.
Yes. You can fully customize roles to match your company's structure (e.g., Senior Dev, Junior QA, UI Designer)
The tool automatically sums up the minimum hours and maximum hours separately. This gives you a realistic range for the total project effort, which helps in setting safe buffers for the final proposal.
When you toggle a group or task off, it is visually dimmed and its hours are excluded from the total project calculation. This allows you to keep "nice-to-have" features in the file without inflating the core budget.
Yes. Once your structure is finalized, you can export the tasks and groups directly to Jira, Asana, or Excel, maintaining the hierarchy you created.
