Wait, is this really how they estimate? Seems complicated!

No way, it’s definitely not Analogous!

I thought it could be Parametric too, but not sure.

Definitely, breaking it down like that is classic Bottom-up.

I feel like Analogous estimation could be relevant if they were comparing to past projects, but this seems more focused on the current tasks.

This reminds me of a practice question where we discussed Parametric estimation, but it seems more like they are doing a detailed analysis here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about the Delphi technique being more about gathering expert opinions rather than breaking down tasks.

I think the business analyst is using the Bottom-up estimation technique since they are breaking down tasks and estimating time for each one.

Okay, let's see. The key here is understanding how to handle multiple businesses sharing the same rowkey. I think the compromise method might be a good approach, but I'll need to double-check the details.

I remember learning about the PMON process, but I'm drawing a blank on the details. I'll need to carefully read through the options and see which ones sound most familiar to me.
