I have a project manager who wants me to quote on a project doing something I’ve never done, but which I know is doable. Basically, it involves creating an application to determine the kind of printer cartridge that a printer needs. Here are the particulars:
- The user selects a printer company
- Based on selection 1, the user then is given a series of models to choose from
- Based on selections 1 and 2, the application displays a compatible generic cartridge
- The whole thing is linked to a database of several hundred categories. The database will be on the user’s computer, the type of which is up to us.
I just need a rough idea of about how many hours to quote for. It doesn’t need to be perfect, but I don’t want to be way off as far as too high or too low. Can anyone give me a ballpark figure?
