Dear Expert:

Conditional branching (if then analysis) allows the project to branch from one task to another task based on certain conditions. For example, if a feature development task takes longer than 2 weeks, this may be require shorter development time for other features. Conditions related to task duration, finish time, and cost can be specified for each task that has successors. RiskyProject checks these if then conditions during simulations.

To define conditional branching:
1. Go to task information dialog (double click on task ID) for the task, which has successor.
2. Go to Branching Tab.
3. Select condition e.g If Duration >, If Cost >, etc.
4. Enter Value: e.g. Duration > 10 days
5. Enter Action: Cancel task and set duration to zero, Cancel all tasks in the branch.
