Q7. Definitive estimates are generally derived from:
a. Bottom-up estimates b. Top-down estimates c. Expert judgment cost estimates d. Order of magnitude estimates
Q8. A key weakness of the Benefit-Cost ratio project selection mechanism is that:
a. It only focuses on things that can be measured b. It takes time frame into consideration c. It is too much based on subjective judgment d. It does not entail prioritizing
Q9. The bottom-most level of the WBS — the level at which project budget and schedule data are captured — is called:
