What is Estimate to Complete (ETC)?

Consider the Estimate to accomplish (ETC) in project management as anticipating the amount of work and resources necessary from this point forward until the project is completed, similar to forecasting how much more effort and time will be required to accomplish a task. It’s like evaluating your progress on a lengthy road journey and judging how far you still have to go based on your present pace and the road ahead. In projects, ETC assists project managers in predicting how much work remains and how many resources will be required to complete everything given what has already been done.
