cost estimation principle 1	cost estimation principle	divide and conquer	to make an estimate more accurate because you will be more likely to account for all the subsystems and activities if you under-estimate the time required for some subsystems or activities, this should be at least partly compensated for by over-estimates in other places	dividing the project up into individual subsystems, and then dividing each subsystem further into the activities that will be required to develop it, then making a series of detailed estimates for each individual activity, and summing the results to arrive at the grand total estimate for the project
