Some months ago I found a project-management / time-estimation software that would ask you to sort out your tasks in terms of difficulty (1, 2 or 3) and would then estimate the time you would take to deploy.

The system would auto-adapt as you were working.

I've forgot the software name. For the past days I've been digging emails and searching Google with no results.

Can anyone pin the software name by my description?

Its not http://www.fogcreek.com (though I've found it to be a great piece of software.

Thank you in advance.

Could it be "Construx Estimate" from Steve McConnell?

Unfortunately, no. I've put up a paper by my monitor saying, bookmark whatever you find interesting. ALWAYS.

@Wardy, nope. But thank you! The program was web-based. This one is also a nice one, thanks. All in all we may well have to re-invent the wheel on this one and re-do it from scratch. I'm still searching and haven't found it either.

web based huh ... hmmmm ...

How about a software that would allow you to estimate a commitment date (by when you think you will deliver on a request) and communicate the date to the requester? As you work on your tasks the date re-calculates and if it slips you communicate a new commitment date so the requester could plan his work accordingly.

This is a tool we're working on, if you want to give it a try (it is in beta though): http://yoxel.com/personal-commitment-manager.html
