Timeboxing is correct because 25 workstations per hour represents prioritizing based on allocation of time resources. Parametric estimate is not correct as it is not a defined prioritizing approach as defined in BABOK v3 10.33.2. The BABOK defined approaches for prioritizing includes: 1) Grouping 2) Ranking 3) Time Boxing / Budgeting 4) Negotiation

Timeboxing involves allocating a fixed amount of time to complete a specific task or set of tasks. In this scenario, the requirement to install 25 workstations per hour sets a time constraint on the installation process. Therefore, the 25 workstations per hour represents the time constraint imposed on the project, making "Timeboxing" the appropriate answer. see v3 pg 313 .3

C. Parametric estimate In this scenario, the estimate of installing 25 new workstations per hour is an example of a parametric estimate. A parametric estimate involves using statistical relationships, historical data, or other quantitative methods to estimate project parameters based on specific variables. In this case, the parameter being estimated is the installation rate of new workstations, and the estimate is based on the rate of 25 workstations per hour. Adjusting the labor and prioritizing requirements based on this estimate is a strategic approach to manage the installation process efficiently.

Emphasis is on the fixed amount of time and the adjustment to the priority. That is why I will go with Timeboxing. Timeboxing or budgeting prioritizes business analysis information based on the allocation of a fixed resource.

Selected Answer: C
Timeboxing/Budgeting is an approach used when there is time or money constraint. Here 25 workstations is an attribute being estimated. It reflects the skills and abilities required to do the work. So according to me the answer is clearly 'Parametric Estimation'

Never mind, if we are taking about the fixed 1 hour time required to install 25 workstations then the answer 'Timeboxing' is correct.
