At Solstice Labs, a project manager is closing a project and finds that the actual costs were consistently 30% higher than the analogous estimates used at initiation.

What is the most important 'Continuous Improvement' action?

  1. Submit a change request to the PMO to increase all future project contingencies by 30%.
  2. Inform the estimator who provided the original figures that they were 30% inaccurate.
  3. Update the organizational historical estimating OPA with the actual cost data and adjust the analogous 'complexity factors' for future projects.
  4. Document the 30% variance in the final report and explain that 'market conditions' were the cause, without revisiting the agreed prioritization criteria.
