A project manager bases his time and labour estimates on a learning curve of 86%. The actual learning curve turns out to be 89%. The manager, because of the decreased learning, will complete his project in more time and with more labour use.

Question

Abbas Poonawala · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : True, Explanation :  A higher learning curve (in this case, 89%) means that fewer labor hours are required to complete the project compared to a lower learning curve (86%). Therefore, since the actual learning curve is higher than estimated, the project will require less time and labor to complete, not more.
