Yeah, I heard it saves a lot of time compared to detailed methods.

Can it really be applied to segments of work? Seems tricky.

I feel like I read that it’s not necessarily more accurate than other methods, so I’m leaning towards the time-saving aspect being the main advantage.

From what I recall, analogous estimating doesn't use contingency reserves like some other techniques do. So that's probably not the right answer. I'm leaning towards the "less costly and time consuming" option, but I want to double-check my notes just to be sure.

Analogous estimating allows you to apply the technique to specific segments of the work, which I think could be really useful. That flexibility seems like a big advantage over some of the other cost estimate methods.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know analogous estimating uses historical data, but I can't remember if that makes it more or less accurate than other methods. I'll have to think this through a bit more.

The business analysis checklist is definitely the way to go here. It's a comprehensive tool that can help the BA ensure all requirements are verified, which is exactly what the project board is concerned about. Easy choice in my opinion.

If they really wanted to test our estimating skills, they should've asked us to estimate the cost of this exam. That would be a real challenge!
