PPD Cost EstimationPPD development
(cost estimation, roadmap,
architecture)
‒ Choose among alternatives (technologies requirements) Translate system/functional requirements associated with product, project, or processes into budget requirements
‒ Determine and communicate a realistic view of the likely cost outcome, for executing the work annually
‒ Develop a source of resource information for planning purposes and provide them to the customer
‒ Provide a quantitative basis for management decisions regarding optimal allocation of resources
‒ Customer facilitates PPBE process
‒ Enable review and evaluation of progress towards goals
Develop budgets (Long, Intermediate, and Short)

Types of Cost Estimates
‒ Life-Cycle Cost Estimate (LCCE): Cradle-to-grave estimate includes R&D, production, operations/support, and disposal
‒ Independent Cost Estimate (ICE): ICE of most likely cost developed by an independent Government Team
‒ Budget Estimate: For inclusion in budget to support current or planned technology requirements
‒ Rough-Order-of-Magnitude (ROM): Pre-design effort, with very little specific information about the project
‒ Analysis of Alternatives (AoA): Evaluates costs, benefits, advantages and disadvantages of different alternatives

Definition: Cost Estimating is the process of collecting and analyzing historical data and applying quantitative annual models, techniques, tools, and databases to predict the future cost of an item,
product, program, or task.
How do we Estimate?
Cost Estimation for emerging technology is based on items that are significant cost drives such as: Hardware, Infrastructure, Network, Software’s, and FTE’s required to perform on an “Annual basis”.
There are four defined methods for cost estimation: Parametric, Analogy, Engineering Estimation and Actual Costs. With most of our cost estimation we use more than one of these methods.
ASD CE Team uses three Estimation Methods Technique:SPECIFICALLY: We used the following approach.1. Analogy – is used to estimate cost based on historical data2. Engineering Estimation – break down the cost of Hardware & Software 3. Actual Costs - from prototypes, engineering development models, and/or early production items are used to project estimates of future costs for the same type system.
Translate requirements associated with programs, projects, or processes into multiyear budget requests
Assess reasonableness of the budget
Quickly/accurately determine impacts of budget cuts on program baselines and associated functionality
Assess resource implications of technology
Assist in source selection/design trade-offs
How are Capabilities Determined?
Customer Acquisition Strategy
Program Integrated Master Schedule Milestones
Good Cost Estimating Drives Good Decisions
Provide standardized procedures for developing cost estimates budgets and consistent Basis of Estimate (BOE)
Enhance accuracy and credibility of Cost Estimated and Budget Estimates
Make cradle to grave decisions based on metrics
Next Steps
Determined Portfolio Management Tool
Monitor Accuracy of Cost Estimates
