This week's Individual Assignment will simultaneously address learning curves and engagement/productivity. The notion of learning curves is very simple: if we know how long an individual or team or organization takes to perform a task or endeavor on the first and second attempts, then learning curve theory can predict roughly how long future attempts (on the same or very similar task/endeavor) will take. (Even though projects are unique endeavors, there could be - and usually are - activities that are routine, and which have been performed for earlier projects.) You do not need to understand the computations behind learn curve theory because the attached EXCEL spreadsheet takes care of that. Your goal is to understand how to use the attached EXCEL spreadsheet
