Re: estimating LOE - my solution

Wow! Thanks for all the comments and suggestions! Here is my solution:

Proof of Concept (POC) based on one mid-sized use case
 - develop online help and other end-user documentation for one Use Case
 - keep a daily blog
 - include notes on time required for each task
 - add summary of blog to weekly status report
 - report status of POC to PMs in weekly meetings
 - at end of POC ( to last approximately 1 month), count remaining use cases and convert findings
into an estimated Level of Effort (LOE)

If I come up with an estimate for more than one FTE tech writer then I will be looking for help -
(could be a problem in Omaha).
