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
1. From Tools menu chose Working Time
2. Define base calendars that will be used for probabilistic calendar. For example, if you would like to model that March will be 50% non-working, you need to create base calendar: “March non-working”.
3. From  the Project menu choose Main Project Settings.
4. Enter probabilities for each base calendar. For the example above, enter 50% probability for standard calendar and 50% probability for “March non-working”. Sum of all probabilities must be exactly 100%.


Calculations with probabilistic calendars are performed according to the following rules:
• If resource calendar are 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. For the example above this exception will be applied to standard calendar 50% of time and to “March non-working” another 50% of time
• If task calendar s defined, probabilistic calendar will be ignored and task calendar will be used.
• If there is not task calendar or resource calendar defined, probabilistic calendar will be used.
