Haha, I bet the correct answer is C) Deployment. That's when we need to make estimates for the final push to get the project out the door!

Yeah, that makes sense. It's when we really need to have a good idea of what to expect for the final stages of the project.

I'm not so sure, I think it might actually be B) Concept when we're still figuring out the basics of the project.

I disagree with Filiberto, I think Deployment is the phase where analogous estimating is most commonly used, as we are finalizing the project.

Filiberto

I believe analogous estimating could also be used in the Definition phase, as we are still defining the project scope.

I agree with Jody, because in the Concept phase we often rely on past projects to estimate.

This is a tough one, but I'd go with A) Transition. That's when we're finalizing the project plan and need to make more accurate estimates.

Definitely B) Concept. That's when we're just starting to think about the project and need to make rough estimates based on similar past projects.

I'm pretty sure it's D) Definition, since that's when we have the most information about the project to make analogous estimates.

Analogous estimating in the Definition phase can definitely help us make more informed decisions about the project.
