| Mar 5, 2014 at 10:43 | comment | added | fr3d-5 | Thank you very much. I was assuming that 10 % would be a useful first guess given that mentioned article says 40 % is the maximum. Your 15 % pretty much agrees to that. | |
| Mar 4, 2014 at 20:50 | comment | added | Bobby Fisher | I understand. My intention to say (from my experience) is that there is typically a waste of 15% (read interruptions) which is proven to be a practical % for our projects (which is what I wanted to mention rather than pulling out an arbitrary number). | |
| Mar 4, 2014 at 17:16 | comment | added | fr3d-5 | Exactly. The question aims to identify an estimate (or maybe guesstimate) when it would be useful to consider outsourcing interruptive activities such as answering the telephone or collecting data to another person (e.g. an assistant). | |
