A definitive estimate is the most expensive, the most accurate but the least time taking.
A definitive estimate is the most expensive, the most time taking and the most accurate.
A definitive estimate is the least expensive, the least time taking but is the most accurate.
A definitive estimate is the least expensive, the least time taking and the least accurate.
You are working on a house-construction project as a project manager. You and your planning team have identified all the project activities and also estimated the activities’ duration & resource requirements. Currently, you are busy in the approximation of the costs of resources needed to complete the project activities. Which of the four cost management processes you and your team are in?
Plan Cost Management
Estimate Costs
Define Budget (i.e. Aggregating costs)
Funding Limits Reconciliation

It is generally used during project initiating as less information is available at that time.
It is generally used during later stages in the project as more information becomes available.
Its accuracy is in the Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM).
It is less costly and less time taking.
Which of the following is NOT needed in order to come up with a project estimate?
WBS
Risks
Resource Requirements
