- Analogous estimating (also called top-down estimating) uses historical data from similar past projects to estimate the cost of the current project. It is less costly and less time-consuming than other techniques but also less accurate. It is most reliable when previous projects are truly similar and the estimators have the needed expertise. It is typically used in early project phases when detailed information is limited.
