Why Bother With Estimating Software?
If we already know that documentation usually takes about 10% of a project, then you should plan on hiring one tech writer for every nine other members on a team (or one in ten total). It seems like a waste of money to buy software when you could rule-of-thumb it and still get a reliable result. --Count Oblio (discuss • contribs) 00:01, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
