Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. As a part of the upgrade, Appian Community is currently in read-only mode, and user registration is disabled until August 3. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.
Are there any recommendations, tips, literature available for Sizing the requirements for Appian development ?
For other BPM platforms there are sizing sheets (Tool) available .

Can you talk more about what you mean by "Sizing"? Is your goal to identify disk / memory for your environment based on your expected usage? If so, there is a sizing script that can be run for self-managed installations.
If you're talking about something else, can you give more context on what you're looking for?
Thanks Peter for the prompt response.
For estimating the Development effort for a given set of requirements do we have Estimation tool available for Appian ?
I don't know of any tools that do this - typically this kind of activity would be done through enagement with Appian Customer Success or a Partner organization.

Hi,
Found this resource: https://community.appian.com/success/management/w/program-management/2164/project-sizing-and-estimation
As per my own experience, we estimate based on the assignees level of expertise and comfort on the changes required in a user story.
Other than that, if the changes are very simple and would not require extensive testing, then we provide estimation of 1-3 days. If the changes are of medium complexity and would need to be tested thoroughly, we generally provide estimate of 1-2 weeks. If the changes are complex, would require extensive analysis on backward compatibility and rigorous testing the estimation would be for 3-4 weeks.
Hope this helps!
Thanks this helps
For Simple what are the number of Workflow activities , integration points ?
