FREE MPUG Webinar:
Using random numbers to better predict the future a.k.a. Schedule Risk Analysis
July 31, 2019
12:00pm – 1:00pm EST
It may seem counter intuitive to apply random uncertainty to our hard won schedule estimates but doing so can dramatically improve the realism of our prediction of the future. But how can we justify applying uncertainty/randomness to management? What’s a reasonable amount of uncertainty? How can you capture uncertainty and apply it to your schedule without adding to your already heavy workload? This session will use Barbecana’s Full Monte schedule risk analysis software to analyze the past and help produce happier clients in the future.

November 2014: Barbecana announces the immediate availability of version 1.1 of Full Monte 2014 for P6. This update to Full Monte for P6 schedule risk analysis supports the new Primavera P6 8.4 release from Oracle. One of the changes with Primavera P6 Professional 8.4 is the option to use the SQLite database for standalone installations rather than the resource hungry Oracle XE edition. Full Monte supports schedule risk analysis against Primavera schedules saved to SQL Server, Oracle, or SQLite databases.
August 2014: Barbecana announces the immediate availability of Full Monte 2014 for P6. Full Monte schedule risk analysis (SRA/Monte Carlo Simulation) runs directly against existing Primavera databases (both Oracle and SQL Server), avoiding the headache of exporting data to external systems for analysis and saving uncertainty information directly in the Primavera database. This makes for an extremely fast and cost effective solution for schedule risk analysis with Primavera schedules.
July 2014: Barbecana releases a minor update to Full Monte 2.1 that enhances the popular Tornado style sensitivity chart to include color differentiation between positive and negative influences on the project or milestone outcome. After installing the update, simply create a new report specification called ‘SplitTornado’ based on the existing ‘Tornado (Schedule)’ report.
