“We thought it would take two months and $20k. Six months and $80k later, we’re still not live.”

We hear this more often than you’d think.

In software development, inaccurate project estimation is one of the most expensive mistakes, not just in money, but in time, trust, and team morale.

At SkyTech Group, we’ve seen how the right estimation process sets the tone for the entire project — and how a wrong one can sink even a great idea.

Estimation Is Not Guesswork

Good estimation is not a gut feeling.
It’s not “a guy we know said it’ll be 3 sprints.”
It’s not “similar app costs 50k.”

It’s an analysis.
It’s asking the right questions:

• What does “done” look like?

• Are we reusing existing components or building from scratch?

• How much testing, documentation, and DevOps is actually needed?

Without that clarity, every sprint turns into a surprise.

What We Do Differently at SkyTech Group

When we estimate a project — QA, Dev, or DevOps — we start with use cases, not just features.
We break down complexity, edge cases, integrations, and potential risks.

That way, when we say “4 weeks,” it means 4 weeks — with coverage, tests, and no last-minute chaos.

Because accurate estimates aren’t just about delivery — they’re about trust.

What Happens When You Skip It

We’ve seen teams go live without performance testing — because “it wasn’t in scope.”
Or backend endpoints missing edge case handling — because “we didn’t budget for that.”

All of it could’ve been avoided with a realistic estimate at the start.

Good Estimation Leads to:

• Smoother project flow

• Fewer change requests

• Realistic stakeholder expectations

• Happier teams and clients
