If you’ve struggled with aligning tasks from different calendars or conducting risk analysis on non-classical calendar schedules, the updated ScheduleRiskAnalysis for probabilistic project schedules in Excel is here for you!
Project managers in energy and construction are in a constant battle to align unique project calendars with their varying tasks to properly conduct risk analysis. With this new release of ScheduleRiskAnalysis, you can more effectively navigate these challenges to create better schedules that help protect the bottom line and keep your project on track.
This new version of ScheduleRiskAnalysis, available in DecisionTools Suite, now lets you more accurately model the unique scheduling of working hours for tasks with varying calendars in your probabilistic Gantt charts in Excel – giving you more flexibility in project management and improving your project schedule decision making. See how in the examples below!
Oil and Gas Project Plan Example
In an offshore drilling project, certain tasks, such as drilling operations, can only be performed during specific weather conditions or times of day. With the ability to assign unique calendars to these tasks, project managers can more accurately model the project schedule and perform a more realistic risk analysis with probabilistic Gantt charts.
Construction Project Task Example
In a skyscraper construction project, different tasks such as structural work and interior finishing usually have different working schedules. Structural work might happen continuously, while interior finishing might only happen during daytime hours. By assigning different calendars to these tasks, the project manager can better estimate the project timeline and analyze the impact of uncertainty when considering all the different task calendars.
