Split Tasks

[PMBOK]

Does RiskyProject supports split tasks as Microsoft Project?

[Intaver Support]

When you import a split task into RiskyProject from MS Project, the task itself will not be split, but the Start and Finish times will. This means that during the Monte Carlo simulation the finish and start times will be used to model how uncertainties will affect the project; however, if you are using resource loaded schedules, you need to account for the additional work that RiskyProject will add to the “split tasks” because of how they are handled.

[Intaver Support]

In general we don't recommend to use split task for probabilistic calculation, because uncertainties can be related to shifts and non-working time. It is hard to model and can cause confusions. Instead we recommend to use multiple tasks.

Also duration and work of split task after import to RiskyProject can be incompatible with duration and work in Microsoft Project and other project management software. However Start and Finish Times of all tasks should be the same.
