“From a risk management perspective, I find great value in using linear schedules to compare complex base (deterministic) schedules and risk-based (probabilistic) schedules. This helps identify the “trouble” activities where uncertainty is the highest. Overlaying the two schedules is a simple, quick, and effective way to help project managers focus their attention and manage their resources.”
