Workflow level of effort

[Bradshaw-Long, Kathleen]

Hello Workflow experts,
 
I have a very general question regarding estimated labor hours for
workflow.  My company is considering using workflow to route purchase
requisitions to approvers.
We have an average of three levels of approval required for a purchase
requisition.  In the first phase, we'll set up workflow for five
departments,  and there'll be approximately 30 approvers who will have
to be set up with workflow ID's.  Our approval process is going to be
fairly straightforward.  The approval of each level will be sequential,
and as each approver approves or rejects the requisition, an event will
trigger a workflow.  We'd like to route the workflow notifications to
Microsoft Outlook, instead of the SAP inbox. All of our requisitions
will be generated manually, and not by MRP. We have rougly estimated a 6
months project duration and our internal workflow developer is
relatively new to workflow.
 
I'd appreciate any "rules of thumb" for estimating workflow effort. =20
