5 Should project managers be permitted to give first guess e

Solution

Yes, I believe that project managers should be permitted to give first guess estimates to a customer. As it’s the project manager who needs to discuss every detail such as the objective of the project, the duration of the project and it’s the project manager who needs to see what all resources would be required and about the feasibility of the project. Based on this, a project manager can make a estimate figure which is not wrong to share with a customer. However, projects managers can make it clear that it’s just a first guess estimates and the actual quotation can be different, and the customer can decide about the project based on that actual quotation only.
