Software estimation templates
and component library

Stop reinventing the wheel for every estimate. Standardize your workflow with reusable project templates and library of pre-estimated modules.

Why use templates for
software estimation?

Accelerate the estimation process

Don't waste time estimating "User Login" or "Stripe Integration" for the hundredth time. Build a repository of pre-priced components in your Library. When a new brief arrives, simply inject these proven blocks into your estimate, cutting the time required to build a scope by up to 50%.

Standardize accuracy across the team

Ensure every project manager and developer estimates the same way. By using shared templates for common functionalities, you eliminate the variance between a senior's detailed breakdown and a junior's rough guess. Your agency maintains consistent pricing and scope definition regardless of who builds the quote.

Eliminate missed requirements

It is easy to forget "hidden" costs like CI/CD setup, environment configuration, or project management meetings when starting from a blank sheet. Project templates ensure these non-functional requirements are included by default in every new worksheet, protecting your profit margins from scope creep.

Capture organizational knowledge

Your best technical knowledge shouldn't live in one architect's head. Save your most effective module breakdowns and task descriptions to the Library. This turns your estimation tool into a knowledge base, allowing the entire sales and product team to leverage the technical expertise of your senior staff.

Tools for repeatable
estimation success

Reusable component library

Define individual building blocks once and reuse them forever. Save common elements-like a registration flow, payment gateway integration, or a standard admin table with filtering-into your library. During estimation, browse these saved items and add them to your current project with a single click, preserving the task breakdown, descriptions, and role assignments.

Write once, reuse forever

One-click import

Modular building blocks

Preserve full context

Reusable component library

Full project templates

Create standardized starting points for different project types. Define a master template for "E-commerce" or "Mobile MVP" that includes your standard module structure, DevOps configuration, testing protocols, and PM meetings. Start new projects from these templates to ensure a consistent, professional structure from day one.

One-click injection

The Library integrates seamlessly with the estimate creator. You don't need to copy-paste from old files. Simply select a module (e.g., "Server Setup") from your sidebar and inject it directly into your active worksheet. The tool automatically maps the saved roles and time ranges to your current project structure.

Instant module injection

Forget copy-pasting from old files. Select modules like "Server Setup" from your sidebar and inject them directly into your active worksheet in one click.

Smart Role Mapping

The tool automatically maps saved roles and time ranges to fit your current project structure, ensuring consistency without manual adjustments.

Why manual estimation
hurts scalability

Reinventing the wheel wastes money

Senior developers spend expensive billable hours rewriting the same scope for "User Authentication" or "AWS Setup" every week. This redundancy slows down your sales cycle and diverts top talent from actual development work.

Inconsistent pricing risks profitability

When every estimate starts from a blank spreadsheet, consistency suffers. One PM might estimate a feature at 20 hours, while another estimates it at 40. This lack of standardization makes it impossible to predict margins or rely on historical data for future quotes.

Forgotten scope eats margins

Manual estimates often miss the "boring" but necessary tasks. Forgetting to include time for code review, staging deployment, or smoke tests in the initial quote means your team ends up doing that work for free, directly impacting the project's profitability.

FAQ for
library & templates

The Library is for smaller, reusable components (like a login module or a specific feature) that you add to an existing estimate. Templates are for full project structures (like a standard SaaS setup) that you use to initialize a brand new estimate or worksheet.

Yes. When you save a template or library item, it preserves the task structure, descriptions, role assignments, and the min-max time estimates. You can leave these as defaults or adjust them after importing.

We recommend saving technical modules that repeat often, such as: User Authentication, Stripe/PayPal integration, Google Maps setup, Push Notifications, standard CI/CD pipelines, and server environment configurations.

Yes. You can edit your templates and library items at any time. However, changes to a template will only affect future estimates; they will not retroactively change projects you have already created.
