Table of Contents:
  • Why schedule risk analysis? Looking beyond the critical path method
  • Uncertainty in activity durations : creating probability distributions
  • Uncertainty along a schedule path : using Monte Carlo simulation
  • A good project schedule is needed : critical path method scheduling 101
  • Collecting risk data : exploring methods and problems
  • Where parallel paths merge : introducing the "merge bias" and risk criticality
  • Probabilistic branching : analyzing discrete risk events
  • Using risks to drive the analysis and prioritize risks: introducing the "risk driver" method
  • Schedule contingency plans : using conditional branching
  • When activity durations move together : incorporating correlation
  • Risk management in the organization : identifying the mature risk management culture.
