A 'simple three point estimation' app in React. You can see it in action here.
The three-point estimation technique is used in management and information systems applications for the construction of an approximate probability distribution representing the outcome of future events, based on very limited information.
Based on the assumption that a double-triangular distribution governs the data, several estimates are possible. These values are used to calculate an E value for the estimate and a standard deviation (SD) as L-estimators, where:
E = (a + 4m + b) / 6
(where a = the best-case estimate, m = the most likely estimate, b = the worst-case estimate)
It is used a lot in Software Engineering to estimate project durations. I highly discourage you from using it for that purpose, given my personal experiences with it. There are far better Agile estimation methods.
