She has worked on Task A for other projects in the past and 15 10.60 this is the fifth time she is working on Task A. AssumeTalia is (and always has been) very highly motivated 16 10.44 (engagement/productivity factor =100%) and that she took 12 days on her first Task A attempt and 10 days on her second 17 10.29 Task A attempt. How long will she take this time around (on her fifth attempt)? 18 10.16 Now, let's assess what might have been the situation if Talia felt harrassed on the job, was unhappy, and was entertaining 19 10.03 thoughts of quitting her position and joining another company. As a result, over the past several months, she has had 20 9.91 challenges focusing on and devoting her full energy to her work, and her engagement/productivity factor fell to about 70% (prior to her first Task A attempt) and has stayed at that level since then. Under this scenario, how long will she take this time around (on her fifth attempt)? (Assume that the ideal first and second attempt times stay the same: 12 days and 10 days.)
