he FDD startup phase contains predictive metrics to project future effort based on early available indicators. One of the most useful and important predictive metrics comes from the Develop an Overall Model process. This metric says that for every two weeks of time you spend doing the modeling in the Develop an Overall Model process, there is six months of project construction phase time. That is, one week of Develop an Overall Model modeling is about three months of construction phase time, two weeks of modeling is six months of construct, three weeks of modeling is nine months of construct, and four weeks of modeling is about a year of construction phase time.

Therefore, if a client comes to you and says this is a six month project then you know you should spend about ten days in the Develop an Overall Model process (two weeks is ten working days). What this means is, for example, that by day seven (or thereabouts) you will know if you're in the ballpark or not.
