Analogous Estimating is generally less costly and less time-consuming than other techniques but it is also generally less accurate. Analogous duration estimates can be applied to a total project or to segments of a project and may be used in conjunction with other estimating methods. Analogous Estimating is most reliable when the previous activities are similar in fact and not just in appearance, and the project team members preparing the estimates have the necessary expert judgment.
