G'day, I'm Neil Benson. In this limited-edition podcast series, I'd love to teach you how to quickly, accurately and confidently estimate how long it’ll take and how much it’ll cost to build your Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365 business applications. You'll be able to persuade your stakeholders to approve your proposals and win more projects.

I'm a 14x Microsoft MVP who has been using an agile approach to estimating and building Microsoft business apps since 2008. This podcast is a companion to my online video course, Estimating Business Apps. Join for free at https://customery.com/estimating.

• Estimates are notoriously inaccurate.
• Estimating in units of time doesn't work.
• Estimating in t-shirts doesn't work either.
