Explanation

Apportioned effort is effort applied that you cannot subdivide into work packages, but it is related to, usually in a supportive role, to the completion of the project work packages. The project management overhead, such managing the project work, is an example of apportioned effort. Apportioned effort (AE) is the effort that is applied to the project-related work that cannot be easily and readily divided into discrete efforts for those tasks, but which is associated in a direct proportion to the discrete work efforts that are capable of being measured. The presence of apportioned effort relies particularly on the performance of further efforts. Answer option C is incorrect. This is an example of discrete effort. Answer option A is incorrect. This is an example of a scope change that has not been approved. Answer option D is incorrect. This is an example of a scheduling technique.
