Defining Probabilistic Calendars
You can create a probabilistic calendar. Probabilistic calendars will
be used only for Monte Carlo simulations. The current project
schedule will use the project calendar.
Probabilistic calendars are a set of base calendars with their
respective probabilities.
Defining probabilistic calendars
1. From Tools menu chose Working
Time
2. Define base calendars that will be used for probabilistic
calendar. For example, if you would like to model that March will be
50% non-working, you need to create base calendar: “March
non-working”.
3. From the Project menu choose Main
Project Settings.
4. Enter probabilities for each base calendar. For the example
above, enter 50% probability for standard calendar and 50%
probability for “March non-working”. Sum of all probabilities must
be exactly 100%.
Calculations with probabilistic calendars are performed according to
the following rules:
• If resource calendar are used, base calendar for resources would
probabilistic calendar. For example, you have a resource Crew that
has a non-working exception for February 18 on the standard
calendar. For the example above this exception will be applied to
standard calendar 50% of time and to “March non-working” another 50%
of time
• If task calendar s defined, probabilistic calendar will be ignored
and task calendar will be used.
• If there is not task calendar or resource calendar defined,
probabilistic calendar will be used.
