Projektkalkulation & Aufwandsschätzung
Calculate new projects based on real experience — not gut feeling.
Challenge
- Missing benchmark: Project efforts are estimated without being able to systematically draw on comparable predecessor projects.
- Scattered data: Relevant calculation bases are spread across old proposals, project reports, emails and Excel sheets — distributed across different systems.
- Knowledge loss: The experience of seasoned colleagues doesn't flow systematically into new calculations.
Solution
- Past projects as calculation basis: Previous project data is loaded into MAIA and immediately searchable — by project type, industry, effort or configuration.
- Access efforts directly: MAIA delivers concrete hours, cost drivers and specifics from similar projects as the basis for the new calculation.
- Price in risks early: Overruns and issues from past projects become visible before they are overlooked in the new calculation.
Result
- Accuracy: Calculations are based on real experience instead of estimates.
- Speed: Relevant reference projects are found in seconds instead of searched for hours.
- Planning confidence: Typical cost traps from the past are identified early and factored in.
Prompt Examples
- Reference projects: "Which completed projects are most comparable to our new order [description]?"
- Effort estimation: "How many hours did we spend on [phase/service] in project [name]?"
- Cost drivers: "Which unforeseen costs have occurred most frequently in similar projects?"
- Risk assessment: "Which risks should we factor into the calculation for a project of type [X]?"
