Question 285

Based on a previous project that has been completed, a project manager decides the best way to estimate costs is through historical data. What kind of estimating is this?

    Correct Answer: D

    The method of estimating costs through historical data from a previous project is known as analogous estimating. Analogous estimating uses the actual costs of previous, similar projects as the basis for estimating the costs of the current project. This method is particularly useful when there is limited detailed information about the current project.
