Here’s how it works! Select a task like content analysis, storyboarding, or video production and choose the complexity: Simple, Moderate, or Complex. Enter the number of units (slides, pages, or minutes), then click "Add Task". Once you’ve added all your tasks, hit "Calculate Total Time" to see your total estimated hours. Need extra buffer? Add contingency time! You can also export your plan as a PDF and see a handy visual chart to show where your time goes. This app uses predefined industry benchmarks backed by research from sources like the Chapman Alliance Study and the Association for Talent Development (ATD). These benchmarks ensure accurate estimates based on task complexity, which helps you confidently plan and manage your instructional design projects. It’s a reliable and efficient way to stay on track!
