What should be included in activity duration estimates?

Only the optimistic estimates
Quantitative assessments and may include a range
Fixed time periods without any flexibility
Decisions taken during group decision making

The correct answer is: Quantitative assessments and may include a range

Activity duration estimates should include quantitative assessments as it is important to have a range or variety of estimates when predicting how long it will take to complete a specific activity. It is not feasible to only include optimistic estimates (option A) as this does not account for possible delays or challenges that may occur during the activity. Fixed time periods without any flexibility (option C) are not recommended as they do not allow for any room for error or unexpected occurrences. Decisions taken during group decision making (option D) may play a role in determining the duration estimates, but it is not the sole factor. Therefore, option B is the most comprehensive and suitable answer.
