Which statement about the 150 percent maximum time frame rule for SAP is true?

• A. It allows 50 percent beyond the published length.
• B. It allows 150 percent of the published length.
• C. It matches exactly the published length.
• D. It allows 200 percent of the length

Answer: (A)

The rule means you can complete a program in up to 150% of its published length. Saying it allows 50 percent beyond the published length communicates this clearly: 150% equals 100% (the published length) plus 50% more. For example, a two-year program could be finished in up to three years under this rule. The idea is to give enough time to complete without extending too far beyond the original plan. The other statements don’t fit: exactly the published length would be only 100%, and 200% would be far more time than allowed.
