About these estimates
Based on industry averages. Actual timelines depend on team experience, tools, and scope clarity.
Timeline Planning Tips
Add 20-30% buffer to your estimates. Unexpected issues always arise during development.
New team members (including outsourcing partners) need 2-4 weeks to become productive.
Break your project into clear milestones. It's easier to track progress and adjust timelines.
Know your must-haves vs nice-to-haves. Cut scope early if needed rather than delaying launch.
