sap-estimate

Trigger structured SAP project estimation — invoked when scope needs to be broken down into effort, cost, or timeline with WBS decomposition and three-point estimates.

/sap-estimate

Invokes the sap-estimator agent with estimation skill enforcement to produce rigorous, decomposed effort estimates. Single-number estimates are blocked by design — every output uses three-point estimation (optimistic / most likely / pessimistic) with a full Work Breakdown Structure.

Usage

/sap-estimate [scope description]

Arguments:

  • [scope description] — Describe the work to be estimated. Can be a project, a phase, a module, a feature, or a list of requirements. More detail yields more accurate WBS decomposition.

Examples:

  • /sap-estimate Full S/4HANA greenfield for a mid-size manufacturing company — FI, CO, MM, PP, SD
  • /sap-estimate Custom ABAP report — vendor payment due date aging with multi-currency support
  • /sap-estimate SAP Integration Suite: 12 iFlows connecting S/4 to Salesforce CRM

What Happens

  1. The sap-estimator agent is dispatched with the estimation skill active.
  2. The skill enforces scope decomposition before any numbers are given — the agent must produce a WBS first.
  3. Each WBS line item receives a three-point estimate: optimistic (O), most likely (M), pessimistic (P).
  4. PERT formula is applied: E = (O + 4M + P) / 6 per line item.
  5. Risk adjustments, contingency factors, and dependency impacts are layered on.
  6. Assumptions and exclusions are captured explicitly — nothing is left implicit.
  7. The skill hard-gates prevent delivery until all line items have supporting rationale.

Output

An Effort Estimate Document containing:
