- This is awesome to explain our job to others too. :) Thanks for sharing.
Where do you usually get the icons or image from? or do you also design yourself?
Thanks!- You're welcome, Vivian! You're right - it does help explain our jobs to others.
Re: Images - I already had the wallpaper image, so used that. The clock is so simple you could make it in PowerPoint and save it down as an image, but in the interest of time I bought a vector clock I could customize - and it may have come from Dollar Photo Club.
I hope that helps!- Cool! Thank you Jackie.
- Great job Jackie! Loved it!
- Thank you, Helen! :)

- This is great Jackie! I have been searching for something simple to help others understand development time.
- Woo-hoo! That's great to hear, Tabatha! I'm glad it'll be helpful. :)
- Hi Jackie, do you think it is still accurate or up to date this estimation chart? I’m preparing a quote for a client right now and I'm not that experienced in project management. Don't know where to start to establish a detailed project budget...
Thank you so much for your help
- Thanks Jackie, this is invaluable and supports my experience. Can show it to the powers that be.
- Fantastic, Liam! So glad to hear it's helpful.
- Sending this to my Manager who seems to think I can whip something up in 8 days! EEK.
- Haha Deborah! I'm sure SOMEthing can be whipped up in 8 days, but it may not be the training jewel your manager is envisioning. :)
- My manager just asked for this same information. Thankfully I read your work through the community and was able to share your timely project. Thank you.
- That's great, Glen! You're very welcome. I'm so glad it came in handy! :)
- Jackie, as a new developer, this was very helpful. I just finished a large project that I thought took me too long. But, according to your information, I was right on the mark. So, thanks for the information!
- That's great, Yvonne! You're very welcome.
The pressure of time and budget constraints will always be there, but I'm positive that having good information and more and more demonstrable experience (like your last project!) will help you go forth and estimate with confidence. :)
- This is such a wonderful resource, I just shared it with my boss and co-workers! And the estimates are spot on.
- Thanks so much, Tricia! I'm glad if it's helpful to you and your team! :)
