The Capital Industries case study describes the problems that can occur when the project functional man

$-$

hour estimates appear to be weak. The functional manager asked a new employee to give the man

$-$

hour estimates using the department cost estimating guide. To complicate matters further, the functional employee making the estimate did not have a good knowledge of the task to be accomplished$\mathrm{.}1.$ Who is the best person qualified to make functional estimates? $(5$ marks$)$

$2.$ Can this task be delegated? $(9$ marks$)$

$3.$ Should the estimating of this task have been delegated? $(8$ marks$)$

$4.$ Should Paul Troy have been delegated the responsibility for the estimate? $(5$ marks$)$

$5.$ Should Frank Allen have sensed a communication problem between Paul Troy and the functional manager? $(5$ marks$)$

$6.$ Should Frank Allen have tracked the project more closely because of the above$-$mentioned problems? $(5$ marks$)$

$7.$ Does Paul Troy appear to realize that there are also time and cost constraints on a project? $(5$ marks$)$

$8.$ Is it beneficial for project office personnel to know the man$-$hour estimates? $(8$ marks$)$
