Estimating Data Integration Projects

Not an original idea, more of a whole sale rip off of a post we found.



T = ((E * D * 5)+(S * C * 6)) * A + F
where
T = total no. of days to allow for implementation
E = no. of entities in physical model
D = data quality (D = 0.5 very clean, D = 1 medium cleanliness, D = 1.5 dirty, a lot of work)
S = no. of source systems
C = complexity of transformations (C = 1 relatively simple, C = 0.5 1 to 1 mapping, C = 2 complex, lookups required, derived data, calculations)
A = automation factor (A = 1 ETL tool used, A = 1.6 manual coding)
F = first time implementation, use of ETL (F = 0 many implementations done, F = 20 small & flexible, F = 50 large development)
this estimates have been tried and proven from my project management experience in projects implementing with Informatica as ETL tool.
try it and refine it at the end of each project.
