This document discusses improvements that can be made to current cost estimation methods. It outlines seven areas to address, including using local data definitions, calibration of estimates, independent estimation groups, reducing subjective inputs, preliminary estimates and re-estimation, alternative size measures, and locally developed cost models. The overall goal is to deal with problems in current estimation approaches and improve the accuracy of cost estimates.
