Applying low and high estimates

[Ken]

Can I apply uncertainty (Low, Most Likely, High values) to a group of tasks, and how does it work with summary tasks?

[Intaver Support]

Yes. You can apply uncertainty to:

• Individual activities

• Groups of activities

If applied to a summary task, the uncertainty will automatically apply to all subtasks beneath it.


Best Practices

• Use summary tasks for bulk adjustments when tasks share similar uncertainty characteristics.

• Avoid applying uncertainty at both summary and subtask levels simultaneously—this can create confusion.

• Group tasks logically (e.g., by phase or deliverable) before applying uncertainty.

• Validate that grouped tasks truly share similar risk profiles.
