During planning for a parks restroom renovation, the sponsor announces effort hours from the council dais without consulting the crew. What is the sound CAPM correction?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Estimates come from the folks who do the work, not from the podium. Sponsors fund and decide; they should not invent hours from the dais. Let the team and PM build the estimate, then review it with sponsorship.
Full Explanation
Effort estimating is a project team and project manager practice grounded in work understanding. Sponsor authority over funding does not make sponsor-dictated hours a substitute for estimating. CAPM fundamentals expect candidates to keep estimating with the delivery team while sponsors review and fund outcomes.
