Abstract

When you create your initial project estimates, you need to include time and effort hours for project management activities. On most projects, the rule of thumb is that project management will take 15 percent of the project effort hours. For instance, if you estimate a project to take 1,000 effort hours, the time allocated for project management would be around 150 hours, making the final estimate 1,150 effort hours. This covers the time it takes to manage the schedule, assign work, communicate effectively, manage risks, etc. The time it takes to manage the scope change process is included in this percentage as well.
