Developing reliable cost estimates is crucial for realistic program planning, budgeting, and management. While some agency guidelines on cost estimating are thorough, other agency guidance is limited regarding processes, procedures, and practices for ensuring reliable cost estimates.

Several government agencies are recognized for their leadership in setting standards and providing guidance for cost estimating for digital or IT acquisitions including GAO, USDS, GSA, DoD, and DHS. For this case, the GAO process is presented for consideration. The sample GAO 12-Step Life Cycle Cost Estimate (LCCE) Process visualized below comes from the [GAO Cost Estimating and Assessment Guide](https://gaoinnovations.gov/cost-guide/index.html) and addresses the gap between agencies with detailed guidelines and those without. The graphic below is illustrative - please refer to the full size version in the linked Guide.
