MODULE 21, 22 REVIEW QUESTIONS AND
VERIFIED ANSWERS.GRADE + GUARANTEED
c. bottom-up - answer ✔✔-Which estimating method experiences more problems with padding?
a. Ratio and apportion
b. Top-down
c. Bottom-up
The risk of gross overestimation occurs when padding is over-applied in the bottom-up estimation
method.
c. Creating a bottom-up estimate requires people with expertise to do the work estimate of the labor,
supplies, materials, equipment, and any other resources needed to complete each individual work
activity.
Bottom-up estimating requires expertise in estimating a variety of costs. - answer ✔✔-What is true
about bottom-up estimating?
a. Bottom-up estimates are done early in a project's life cycle when the organization is determining how
the project will meet a business need.
b. A bottom-up estimate must be created before the WBS is available.
, c. Creating a bottom-up estimate requires people with expertise to do the work estimate of the labor,
supplies, materials, equipment, and any other resources needed to complete each individual work
activity.
d. Bottom-up estimates are early approximations of cost.
a. top-down
Initial estimates of cost are most often developed using top-down estimation methods. - answer ✔✔-
Initial estimates of cost are most often developed using _____________ estimation methods.
a. top-down
b. bottom-up
True: Top-down methods, such as the ratio and apportion estimates, are based on the relationship
between the current project and historical data and are often referred to as parametric estimating. -
answer ✔✔-True or False:
Two examples of parametric estimating are the ratio and apportion methods.
Top-down methods, such as the ratio and apportion estimates, are based on the relationship between
the current project and historical data and are often referred to as parametric estimating.
c. apportion method
The apportion method requires that an overall project cost be provided based on the customer's budget
or similar projects. The overall budget is then allocated to the major work areas required in the project
(design, programming, testing, documentation, and user training). - answer ✔✔-The _________
requires that an overall project cost be provided based on the customer's budget or similar projects. The
overall budget is then allocated to the major work areas required in the project (design, programming,
testing, documentation, and user training).
