Microsoft Project can be turned into an estimating tool with continuously improving data. You can copy these features from a schedule template found here, for instance.

Making schedules for specific projects from a template provides consistent schedule structure and vocabulary, accumulating lessons learned, and estimating data.

The features enable two techniques:

1. Analogous estimating, which is scaling parts of a schedule or an entire project estimate, &
2. Parametric estimating, which is scaling the number of items a detail tasks produces.

The download template also illustrates:

1. How to include a risk reserve and estimating uncertainty buffer &
2. How to produce an Excel report with tabs for tasks recently completed, underway, and coming soon (Kanban).
