Could you clarify the question - are you asking how you'd get a preliminary, rough order of magnitude estimate of project costs when little is known?

The best you can do is create a rough order of magnitude estimate and let everyone know the information is an estimate you'll refine when the programers finalize their list.



Also, when people complain about the innacuracy of your estimate, tell them to get the programmers to finalize their list if they want accurate accounting information.

To gather accounting information from a tentative project with uncertain participants, it’s important to identify key financial metrics and engage stakeholders in discussions about potential costs. Establishing a flexible budgeting framework can help accommodate changes as participant details emerge. Regular communication is essential for refining financial details while ensuring everyone remains aligned with the project goals.
