Hi, they are attributes and discrete in nature….

I am attaching the sample data in excel format. Please note that the Effort Variance values are based on the difference between actual and planned efforts (not shown in the sample)…I am wanting to include the competency data (attributes) to see if there is any relation.

I am using Minitab…[Read more]
