Get a realistic, phase-by-phase timeline estimate for your software project in under 2 minutes.
Enterprise features, integrations, and compliance requirements add phases that cannot be compressed.
A part-time or split team can extend delivery by 40–60%. A dedicated external team can shorten it.
Having wireframes or Figma files ready before development starts can save 3–5 weeks of discovery time.
The estimator starts from a base duration in weeks for your project type, from 4 to 8 weeks for a system integration up to 12 to 24 weeks for a warehouse system, multiplies it by a complexity factor between 0.6 and 2.2, then adjusts for who builds it and whether designs exist. Part-time teams stretch the window by half, an external partner trims 15 percent, and ready designs cut 3 weeks.
The tool returns an estimated timeline of 3 to 6 months, broken into the 5 delivery phases used for complex projects.
| Project type | Base timeline (standard complexity) |
|---|---|
| Web Application | 6-12 weeks |
| Mobile App | 8-16 weeks |
| Warehouse System | 12-24 weeks |
| HR / Payroll | 10-20 weeks |
| SaaS Platform | 10-20 weeks |
| System Integration | 4-8 weeks |
| Complexity | Multiplier | Delivery phases |
|---|---|---|
| MVP (core features only) | x0.6 | 3 phases |
| Standard (common features plus some customisation) | x1.0 | 4 phases |
| Complex (advanced workflows plus integrations) | x1.5 | 5 phases |
| Enterprise (full-scale, high compliance, multi-phase) | x2.2 | 6 phases |
| Factor | Effect on the window |
|---|---|
| Dedicated team (full-time focus) | No adjustment, this is the baseline |
| Part-time team (split across projects) | x1.5 |
| External partner (specialist agency or offshore team) | x0.85 |
| Designs already prepared (wireframes, mockups, Figma) | Minus 3 weeks |
Windows whose upper bound reaches 12 weeks are shown in months, converted at 4.33 weeks per month.
