esti-mate-cli v1.1.2

EstiMate CLI

CLI tool for quickly drafting project estimations. When you need to estimate a task, or a small project, then this is a tool for you. Open a command line, start EstiMate type in your estimations, and see how much time the whole project is going to take. After that you can export the results to a CSV file, so you can import it into a spreadsheet, and send to a project manager or sales colleague for example.

The three-point estimation technique is used. It means you have to give 3 estimations for a task instead of one. The 3 estimate are the best case, worst case, and most likely. This is more flexible, easier to express uncertainity about tasks.
