Abstract
Emerging companies have special effort estimation requirements. They are under
immense pressure to adopt immature technologies due to market and management pressure,
which often led to different effort estimation problems. The abstracted data from different
software organizations revealed that the most common effort estimation problems in
emerging companies were related to inexperienced staff, lack of proper estimation culture
and communication. A discussion of why these problems exists in the context of emerging
companies in Nepal is provided; and although limited to certain areas, evidence based
changes in four significant areas to improve estimation process in the emerging companies
are given.
