^ [[6.4.1 Work Breakdown]] # 6.4.2  Effort & Cost Estimates The objective of this section of the Project Work Plan is to **estimate the effort needed for each project task** identified in the Work Breakdown based on **resource availability and capabilities**. After a task is assigned to a resource (or to a resource profile) it also becomes possible to calculate its cost. The estimates will be an input for the creation of the schedule (see Appendix C). ## Inputs - [[Project Work Plan]] (Work Breakdown) ## Outputs -  Effort & Cost Estimates (part of the Project Work Plan) ___ Spanish Guide: [[6.4.2 Estimación de Esfuerzo y Costes]] <-- [[6.4.1 Work Breakdown]] --> [[6.4.3 Project Schedule]]
