Initiating the program cost estimation process

Once the WBS contents are finalized, the respective IPTs initiate the estimation process for each WBS work package. The responsible IPTs set a target cost for each functional work package for the WBS work package before triggering the estimation process. The estimation process for the WBS work packages assigns each constituent functional work package to the leader of the responsible functional organization. The leader then starts the estimation process for each WBS work package in the program WBS. The estimation process for each WBS work package in the program WBS is initiated by submitting one or more WBS work packages to the IPPE Estimation Assignment Process workflow.
