Effective software estimate is the most challenging and the most important activity in a software deve lopment project management. Only when using scientific meth ods to reasonably and reliably estimate the scale, the amount of work and cost of the software project, do the pe ople implement good plan and control. The paper int roduces several typical ways of software cost estimate, dee ply analyses the model of Putnam, uses the examples to research the scale, the number of labors at the peak and the time of the project to provide information for man agers to make positive decisions.
