Question 9

The outcome from an analytics initiative has resulted in key stakeholders wanting to move forward with a project to redesign the company’s website. The business analyst has called a meeting to work on drafting a plan to assess the level of effort required to complete this work. Many of the invited participants redesigned the website before and were invited so they could provide estimates using their knowledge and experience from the past.

The business analyst is using which method to estimate this work?

    Correct Answer: B

    The business analyst is using the Rough order of magnitude (ROM) method to estimate the work. This method involves making high-level, preliminary estimates, often based on historical data or expert judgment from previous, similar projects. In this scenario, inviting participants who have prior experience with similar projects to provide estimates aligns with using a Rough order of magnitude estimate.

Discussion
RabbitsfootOption: B

B - Rough order of magnitude It is the most correct answer because inviting participants who have previous experience with website redesigns to provide estimates based on their knowledge and experience suggests a high-level, preliminary estimation approach rather than detailed bottom-up or parametric estimation methods. This method helps in providing an initial sense of the effort required for planning purposes.
