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
To define probabllistic calendars:
- Click the Schedule tab. In the Schedule and Calendars
group, click Working Time.
- Define base calendars that will be used for your probabilistic calendar. For example, if you would like
to model that March will be 50% non-working, you need to create a base calendar entitled 'March non-working'.
- Click the Schedule tab. In the Settings group,
click Project Settings.
- Enter probabilities for each base calendar. For the example above, enter 50% probability for the standard calendar
and 50% probability for 'March non-working'. The sum of all probabilities must be exactly 100%.
Calculations with probabilistic calendars are performed according to
the following rules:
- If a resource calendar is 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. This exception will be applied to the standard calendar 50% of the time and to the
'March non-working' another 50% of the time.
- If the task calendar is defined, the probabilistic calendar will be ignored and the task calendar will be used.
- If there is no task calendar or resource calendar defined, the probabilistic calendar will be used.
