Why might reserve analysis use more pessimistic estimates?

To ensure that the project is completed ahead of schedule
To compensate for the lack of detailed project information
To account for uncertainty and potential risk
Because it is the most accurate way to estimate durations

The correct answer is: To account for uncertainty and potential risk

Reserve analysis uses more pessimistic estimates to account for uncertainty and potential risks that may arise during the project. By adopting a more cautious approach in estimating reserves, project managers can better prepare for unexpected events and mitigate risks that could impact the project schedule and budget. This helps to ensure that there are adequate reserves in place to address any potential deviations from the original plan. Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
