1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying, by one or more computing devices, one or more project identifiers associated with a project;
identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a secondary data source associated with the project, the identifying based upon, at least in part, identifying an association of the one or more of the project identifiers with the secondary data source;
identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a use of a non-dedicated resource on the project based upon, at least in part, analyzing information from the secondary data source; and
determining, by the one or more computing devices, a cost estimate associated with the project based upon, at least in part, the identified use of the non-dedicated resource on the project.

Abstract
A method, computer program product, and system is described. One or more project identifiers associated with a project are identified. A secondary data source associated with the project is identified, the identifying based upon, at least in part, identifying an association of the one or more of the project identifiers with the secondary data source. A use of a non-dedicated resource on the project is identified based upon, at least in part, analyzing information from the secondary data source. A cost estimate associated with the project is determined based upon, at least in part, the identified use of the non-dedicated resource on the project.

22. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
identifying, by one or more computing devices, one or more project identifiers associated with a project; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a secondary data source associated with the project, the identifying based upon, at least in part, identifying an association of the one or more project identifiers with the data source; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a use of a dedicated resource on the project based upon, at least in part, analyzing information from the secondary data source; and determining, by the one or more computing devices, an updated cost estimate associated with the project based upon, at least in part, comparing the identified use of the dedicated resource with a prior estimate of use of the dedicated resource. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
