Whitlock Software is managing a predictive project with a net EMV of -$15,000. A stakeholder asks why the opportunity's EMV of +$10,000 was used to reduce the reserve.

What is the most defensible explanation?

  1. In predictive projects, opportunities and threats are always equal in value.
  2. Opportunities are included to make the project look more attractive in the business case, while documenting the decision in the issue log.
  3. Including opportunities provides a more realistic, balanced expectation of the project's final cost by accounting for favorable variances.
  4. It was done to keep the project under the budget ceiling imposed by the sponsor.
