Yeah, Concept makes sense for initial rough estimates.

Wait, really? I always thought it was for Deployment!
AD
Adelina

I thought it was more common in the Definition phase?
BE
Belen

Totally agree, that's when you need quick estimates!
WI
Winfred

It's usually used in the Concept phase.

I’m leaning towards the Concept phase as well, but I could be mixing it up with something else. It’s definitely one of the earlier stages!

Tanja

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think it was about using analogous estimating during the Definition phase. That makes sense for initial budgeting.
AL

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about it being used in the Definition phase too. It’s tricky to recall the specifics.

I think analogous estimating is often used in the early stages, maybe during the Concept phase? It feels like that’s when you’d rely on past projects.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is D, definition. That's when you're really digging into the details and trying to come up with accurate estimates, so using analogous data from similar past projects makes a lot of sense.

Analogous estimating is definitely not for deployment - that's when you're actually implementing the project, not estimating. I think it's most commonly used in the concept phase, when you're first starting to plan out the project.

Hmm, I'm a little confused on this one. I thought analogous estimating was more for the transition phase, when you're moving from one stage to the next. But I could be wrong.
AL
Alva

I'm pretty sure analogous estimating is used during the definition phase, when you're trying to estimate costs and timelines based on similar past projects.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this. I know Prisma Access Insights provides some kind of monitoring and reporting capabilities, but I'm not confident I can identify the exact two services they're asking for. I'll need to think this through carefully.

I think this question is asking about the definition of a secondary boycott, which was addressed in the Taft-Hartley Act. I'll need to carefully read through the answer choices to determine the correct definition.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The question is specifically asking about the supported connectivity configuration when FCoE is implemented, and option C seems to be the only one that fits that criteria.

Haha, I bet the correct answer is C) Deployment. That's when we need to make estimates for the final push to get the project out the door!
TA
Tanja

Yeah, that makes sense. It's when we really need to have a good idea of what to expect for the final stages of the project.
NE
Nelida

I think you're right, C) Deployment seems like the best time for analogous estimating.
CA
Catarina

I agree with you, C) Deployment makes sense for making estimates for the final stages of the project.
SA
Sabra

I'm not so sure, I think it might actually be B) Concept when we're still figuring out the basics of the project.
NI

I think you're right, C) Deployment does seem like the most likely time for analogous estimating.
CH

I disagree with Filiberto, I think Deployment is the phase where analogous estimating is most commonly used, as we are finalizing the project.
FI
Filiberto
2 years ago
I believe analogous estimating could also be used in the Definition phase, as we are still defining the project scope.
NY
Nydia

I agree with Jody, because in the Concept phase we often rely on past projects to estimate.
BR
Brande

This is a tough one, but I'd go with A) Transition. That's when we're finalizing the project plan and need to make more accurate estimates.
WE
Werner
2 years ago
I see your point, but I still think Transition is the best choice for more accurate estimates.
CO
Cory
2 years ago
I'm leaning towards Deployment, when we're implementing the project.
CH
Cherelle
2 years ago
I agree, it could help in defining the project scope.
GR
Gretchen
2 years ago
I think it might be used during the Concept phase.
JO
Jody

I think analogous estimating might be most commonly used in the Concept phase.
CE
Ceola

Definitely B) Concept. That's when we're just starting to think about the project and need to make rough estimates based on similar past projects.
SH
Shalon
2 years ago
I'm pretty sure it's D) Definition, since that's when we have the most information about the project to make analogous estimates.
MO
Mollie

Analogous estimating in the Definition phase can definitely help us make more informed decisions about the project.
DA
Dan
2 years ago
I agree, it makes sense to use analogous estimating during the Definition phase when we have more details about the project.
JO
Johnna
2 years ago
I think you're right, D) Definition is when we have the most information to make accurate estimates.
NI
Nickolas
2 years ago
I agree with both of you, D) Definition seems like the most logical choice for using analogous estimating.
FR
Frank
2 years ago
I would go with B) Concept, because that's when we start looking at similar projects for estimates.
ED
Edna
2 years ago
I think it's D) Definition too, that's when we have the most data to compare to.
