Multiple Baselines

 

RiskyProject now supports multiple baselines. You can save the current schedule or the calculated results as a baseline. A baseline is a deterministic project schedule, which you can use to:
•  Track project performance against the baseline
•  Analyze different project scenarios
•  Perform mitigation analysis.

 

For example, if you want to understand effect of mitigation efforts for a group of risks on project cost. To compare pre and post mitigation schedules, you perform an analysis without mitigation efforts and save the results as a baseline. Next, apply mitigation efforts, this can require additional tasks and costs and reduces the probability or impact of the risk in the current schedule. Calculate the post-mitigation schedule analysis and create another baseline with these results. Finally, perform a cost comparison between the pre and post mitigation baselines.

You can create baselines using the results of probabilistic schedule analysis. To do this when you create a baseline, you select a percentile on which to create the deterministic schedule. This creates a deterministic schedule with the results of the risk and uncertainty calculations build into it.
Probabilistic Calendar and Calendar improvements


You can now model weather and other calendar related event’s using probabilistic calendars. If your project has a 30% chance of running an inclement weather schedule, you can create this calendar with reduced hours of operation and run it 30% of the time during the project to model this calendar risk.
In addition, RiskyProject 3 now has calendars that are associated with particular resources and tasks.
