Yes, our company has several estimation models for ETL and DataStage work that we use on project work. You can contact BearingPoint in your country or contact me via a private message. Since IT is highly competitive I don't know of any freely available estimation tools.

The Hawk release includes some quite impressive estimation tools.

Hi Deepak

We had created an Estimation Tool based on different parameters for Datastage Project Estimation. I can guide you about the parameters, but I am sorry the Tool can't be shared.

I just walked out of a presentation of Hawk and the estimation tool is for file sizes and disk requirements but not for design effort. It would have been nice to see something like that, though...

Instead you can discuss the core and concept on which your tool has been built.

Estimating design effort is fraught with difficulty. I don't think I (an experienced developer) would take as long to bring a project to fruition as someone new to the product. But even that does not always hold. I worked on one project where we were given some preliminary specifications by business analysts. Three months later they replaced those with completely different specifications, and tried to lay the blame for delay at my door! (Didn't work.)
