Probabilistic Problem Scheduling by Pinnacle Strategies Offers Rapid Deployment

Plano, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/05/2012 --Probabilistic project scheduling uses knowledge of the variation in project tasks and the project environment (project risks) to make a quantitative prediction of a range of project outcomes. Instead of providing a fixed date to project completion, probabilistic scheduling provides an answer with a range of certainty such as a 50% chance of project completion by a given date or sooner, and a 90% chance of achieving it by another date or sooner.

According to Mark Weoppel, CEO of Pinnacle Strategies, “Project managers know that accurately predicting a project's completion date is sometimes nothing more than an educated guess. A project's end date is dictated as much by the business case as the actual work to be accomplished in the project. For a project owner, a primary consideration in project planning and control is to reduce project uncertainty.”

Probabilistic project scheduling recognizes and deals with the inherent uncertainty that exists in projects through a structured project planning and control process; it then carries the application through a disciplined approach to project schedule management during execution.

Probabilistic Project Scheduling by Pinnacle Strategies offers:

- Shorter Project Lead Times
- Improved credibility of the project plan
- Consistent task estimates across groups
- Reliable task relationship linkages
- Greater assurance of risk and team focus
- Improved control during execution
- Earlier identification of problem areas
- More proactive project management

An additional application of probabilistic project planning and control also considers the range of project costs and returns. This evaluation focuses on the range of outcomes for key project dates. Quantifying the range and probability of outcomes supports accurate project planning and improved decision-making; it creates a strong return on investment.
