We had a similar system at a previous job, named the "Bill-O-Meter." It was the carboard box top from a carton of paper, with a spinner arrow attached to it. A circle was drawn, and cut up into pie slices labedl 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 60, 70, 80, 125 and so forth. When a client wanted to know how long the job would take, how many billable hours were involved or what the cost of the job was, the consultant would spin the Bill-O-Meter and apply the correct units of measure (weeks, months, hundreds of dollars, hundreds of hours, fortnights, furlongs, etc.) to the result. We found the numbers correlated with the length/cost/duration of the project as accurately as any estimate we ever worked with, and was a much quicker ROI. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
