This is a two part question with only one answer listed. And it doesn't specify which one the 8.86 days is for.
Talia is working on a Task A which is on a project's critical path. She has worked on Task A for other projects in the past and this is the fifth time she is working on Task A. AssumeTalia is (and always has been) very highly motivated (engagement/productivity factor = 100%) and that she took 12 days on her first Task A attempt and 10 days on her second Task A attempt. How long will she take this time around (on her fifth attempt)?
Now, let's assess what might have been the situation if Talia felt harrassed on the job, was unhappy, and was entertaining thoughts of quitting her position and joining another company. As a result, over the past several months, she has had challenges focusing on and devoting her full energy to her work, and her engagement/productivity factor fell to about 70% (prior to her first Task A attempt) and has stayed at that level since then. Under this scenario, how long will she take this time around (on her fifth attempt)?
