Capture structured intake
The system captures scope, project type, legal constraints, and delivery goals in a standardized intake form so the estimate does not start with missing context.
QĐ 671 aligned software estimation
Software estimation is not just a number. It must be structured for bid-ready dossiers.
LLA.UCP Estimator helps PMs, IT procurement teams, and advisors produce Use Case Point estimates aligned with QĐ 671/QĐ-BTTTT, with explicit traceability for assumptions, technical factors, environmental factors, and final cost.
This page is rebuilt around real software-cost estimation workflows: smart intake, actor/use-case classification, UCP baseline, assumption governance, draft comparison, and direct handoff into Jira/Confluence. The generic integration visual is removed.

Product story
From intuition-based estimates to verifiable cost dossiers
LLA deploys UCP Estimator through a sequence: standardized intake, explainable UCP calculation, assumption governance, and dossier export for independent review. The goal is not a pretty number, but a defendable software-investment decision.
Calculate explainable UCP
Actors, use cases, technical factors, and environmental factors are quantified under QĐ 671 with explanations that procurement and review committees can challenge and validate.
Govern assumptions and drafts
Each assumption has ownership, status, and revision history; estimation drafts are comparable so teams can see budget and timeline impact clearly.
Handoff into delivery
After approval, scoped workloads and cost components are handed to Jira/Confluence so delivery teams execute against the same governed baseline.
Customer Reality
The problem is not software. It is operational order.
01
The Reality
Vietnamese IT companies that bid on government software projects face a specific, recurring problem: their cost estimates must comply with QĐ 671/QĐ-BTTTT (Ministry of Information and Communications regulation), but most estimation tools are generic. The team manually applies UCP complexity coefficients in Excel, documents assumptions in a separate file, allocates staff in another spreadsheet, and reconciles everything before submission. When a procurement auditor asks for cost justification three months later, reconstructing the evidence takes days — and the original Excel is already two versions out of date.
02
Why It Matters
For Vietnamese government IT procurement, an estimate that cannot be traced to its UCP calculation, documented assumptions, and authorised approval is not just inconvenient — it is a compliance failure. Procurement regulations require evidence, not just numbers. For IT companies competing on both technical quality and commercial credibility, a robust, auditable estimation process is a competitive differentiator — and a protection against post-contract disputes.
03
LLA's Insight
The UCP methodology is not complicated. What makes it difficult is doing it consistently, documenting it completely, and maintaining the audit trail across project revisions, client negotiations, and regulatory reviews. LLA UCP Estimator encodes the methodology as a governed process — not a calculation shortcut. Every coefficient, every assumption, and every revision is recorded. The AI Intake module classifies functional requirements into UCP components, and the Atlassian integration delivers the approved estimate as Jira epics and Confluence specifications — closing the loop from costing to delivery.
Best Fit
Who this is built for
Government agencies, public-sector technology departments, IT project managers, and software procurement teams in Vietnam that need compliant cost estimates for software projects following Thông tư 04 and QĐ 671.
Architecture
Modular ASP.NET Core services, PostgreSQL-backed operational records, role-based access, API-first integrations, and audit-ready workflows.
Problems Solved
Pain points LLA designs around
Manual estimates in spreadsheets fail audit requirements under QĐ 671/QĐ-BTTTT
Use Case Points calculation is error-prone without a validated tool
Project budget submissions lack the breakdown required for government procurement
Cost assumptions are inconsistent across estimation sessions
Capability Pillars
From real problems to measurable outcomes
Each capability is designed around a specific operational problem - not a generic feature checklist.
UCP Calculation Engine per QĐ 671/QĐ-BTTTT
Problem
UCP calculation is done manually in Excel with individually maintained coefficient tables and no version control.
Outcome
Automated UCP calculation with configurable complexity coefficients, adjustment factors, and cost conversion rates — all traceable to QĐ 671/QĐ-BTTTT.
G
Every calculation input, coefficient applied, and result is recorded in the audit log — satisfying procurement accountability requirements.
AI-Assisted Requirements Intake
Problem
Classifying functional requirements into UCP components is the most time-consuming step — done manually by a senior estimator.
Outcome
AI Intake module reads natural language requirements and suggests UCP functional component classifications — accelerating the most labour-intensive step.
G
AI classification suggestions are recorded separately from human-approved classifications — maintaining clear accountability for the final estimate.
Assumption Registry
Problem
Assumptions underlying the estimate are documented informally in the proposal document — or not at all.
Outcome
Every assumption is registered in the system with a rationale, risk level, and owner — before the estimate is submitted.
G
Assumption registry is part of the permanent project record — available for procurement audit and post-contract review.
Atlassian Integration (Jira + Confluence)
Problem
Moving from an approved cost estimate to project execution requires manual re-entry of requirements into Jira and Confluence.
Outcome
Approved estimates generate Jira epics and Confluence specification documents automatically — eliminating re-entry and ensuring the delivery spec matches the priced scope.
G
The link between estimate and delivery specification is maintained — scope changes are traceable from Jira back to the original cost estimate.
Draft Compare and Version Control
Problem
Estimate revisions are managed in separate Excel files. Comparing versions requires manual side-by-side review.
Outcome
Draft Compare shows side-by-side differences between estimate versions — including changes to assumptions, UCP components, and cost totals.
G
All estimate versions are retained with change history — providing a complete negotiation and revision trail.
