Preface

Abstract

Since uncertainty is what typifies projects in progress, risk management is key to the success of a project. A technique known as Schedule Risk Analysis connects the risk information of project activities to the baseline schedule and provides sensitivity information of individual project activities as a way to assess the potential impact of uncertainty on the final project duration. The protection of a project’s deadline using a technique called Critical Chain/Buffer Management assures that delays in project activities are captured by buffers that are cleverly inserted into the project baseline schedule.
