 As you can see, as you increase the utilization rate of people, the amount of time it takes to complete something on average increases, and after about 80% increases dramatically. If you are trying to estimate work and you have a high utilization rate, then which number would you use - the one represented at the lower end of the curve, or the one at the high. The difference is "orders of magnitude" on the estimate.  As you can see, as you increase the utilization rate of people, the amount of time it takes to complete something on average increases, and after about 80% increases dramatically.
