I vaguely recall something about linear life cycles affecting estimates, but I can't remember if that was the estimating funnel or something else.
DE
Deane

I'm pretty confident I know the answer to this one. The estimating funnel is all about how the project team's understanding and estimates become more refined as the project progresses. So the correct answer is option B, utilization of learning and experience.

I believe it could also be A) Project team getting to know each other better, as team dynamics play a role in estimation accuracy.
JU
Juan

Hmm, D is an interesting option. I wonder if the linear life cycle could contribute to the estimating funnel by limiting flexibility in the process.
BR
Brock
