What does the 50/50 rule of progress tracking imply?
  1. An activity is considered 50% complete when it is 50% complete.
  2. An activity is considered 50% complete when it begins and 100% complete when the activity is completed
  3. An activity is consider 50% complete when its successor begins
  4. An activity is credited for 50% complete when it half done, and the other 50% when it is complete
Explanation
Answer: B - The 50/50 rule for progress tracking means that an activity is considered 50% complete when it begins and gets credit for the last 50% when it is completed.

Key Takeaways: This is a popular methodology as it keeps things simple for progress tracking. However, you can imagine that its accuracy is not fantastic if activities cannot be broken into small pieces. We prefer the 20/80 rule even if it makes the calculations slightly more difficult (only slightly).
