Answer / invincible9c

Hey guys this very simple , Requirements gathering till the
development of a report alwasy depends on how
simple/complex the report would be and what are the
parameters whether there would be a need for any cube to be
built if yes then what would be the dimensions and what
kind of security is to be implemented on the cube etc. so I
would say a simple report would take 3 days effective and a
complex report would take 10 days effective.

Answer / sudeer

According to my concern time taken to complete the reports
is mainly depends on how the client wanted to format the report
which means for generating report is such a simple one which
takes 20% of the total time where formatting that generated
report will take 80% of the total time
