SUMMARY:WCA Chapter Virtual Luncheon: Cost Estimation Guidance for AI Software Development Projects
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this month’s Washington Capital Area Chapter (WCAC) International Cost Estimating and Analysis Association (ICEAA) Luncheon: \n  \nSUBJECT: WCAC ICEAA January 2026 Luncheon: Cost Estimation Guidance for AI Software Development Projects\nPRESENTED BY: Arlene F Minkiewicz\nTIME: January 14\, 2026 | 12:00 to 1:00pm Eastern \nSUMMARY:\nThe rapid evolution and integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within software development demands updated approaches to cost estimation.  Traditional cost estimation models\, primarily designed for conventional software projects\, often fail to address the unique complexities and variables inherent in AI algorithms.  This presentation provides a comprehensive framework for estimating costs in an AI-based software projects\, bridging the gap with insights from industry best practices\, academic research\, and lessons learned from recent AI projects.  Key cost drivers such as data preparation\, algorithm selection\, model training\, deployment\, and maintenance are thoroughly analyzed.  The framework introduces a multi-phased approach encompassing the many activities in a software development project\, tailored specifically to AI projects.  Emphasis is placed on the iterative and experimental nature of AI development and its impact on project costs and effort. \n  \nSpeaker:\nArlene F Minkiewicz is the Director of Cost Research at Unison Cost Engineering with over 40 years of experience building cost models.  She leads the cost research activity for TruePlanning®\, the suite of cost estimating products that Unison provides and is a software measurement expert dedicated to finding creative solutions focused on helping make software development and project management professionals successful \n\nMicrosoft Teams Need help? \nJoin the meeting now \nMeeting ID: 287 037 001 912 93\nPasscode: 9YT7ty3Q \nDial in by phone \n+1 929-352-1792\,\,820717398# United States\, New York City \nFind a local number \nPhone conference ID: 820 717 398#
