Abstract

Project schedule reliability remains to be a significant problem in organizations that intend to deliver a predictable outcome in large projects. Schedule risk analysis (SRA) has been described as a sophisticated method of estimating risks that relate to time and improving the reliability of the schedule predictions. This paper aims to discuss the approaches, application and impacts of SRA in different projects. To break it, it examines how such organizations shift from deterministic to probabilistic scheduling through different techniques like Monte Carole simulation as well as probabilistic critical path analysis. The study shows that if schedule risks are assessed properly, the schedules are more believable, decisions are precise, and stakeholders are confident in the project schedule. As mentioned in the current SRA literature and the application of SRA in organizations, this paper seeks to demonstrate how SRA can be incorporated in project management.
