Estimate Activity Durations of Activity planning
After the resource estimates are identified/calculated for each of the activities, it’s time to assign duration estimates i.e., the time required to complete each of the activities for whom the resources were estimated in the previous step. The estimate activity durations process approximates the number of work periods that are needed to complete scheduled activities. Each estimate assumes that the necessary resources are available to be applied to the work package when needed.
The key benefit of this process is that it provides the amount of time each activity will take to complete, which is a major input into the Develop Schedule process.
