Identify your tasks and derive a set of activities from each task.
Derive the effort for each activity by consulting with ur team members and identifying pessimistic, optimistic and mostlikely effort.

You can have a template like the following:

Task Activity Milestone Effort required for activity Startdate EndDate Status ..

Test Plan Preparation
Requirements Analysis
Scope Identification
Test Strategy (Test Approach) identification
Resource Requirements
Identify Risks
..
Review & baseline

Test Case Spec
Feature 1
Feature 2
..

Test Environment Setup
Product Deployment
3rd party software installation
..

Test Automation
Feature1
..

Test Prioritization & Execution

Sanity testing
Verify Fixed Defects
Regression testing
Adhoc testing
Trouble-shooting deviations
..
Test Report
Analyse the deviations
Log the deviations
Do Bugscrub
..

QA Certification
Analyse Test Report
Make Decision to certify or not
..

Good luck.
