5 How long does a task take? Conduct a small inclass experiment Fold MIT paper airplane Have sheet & paper clip ready in front of you Paper airplane type will be announced, e.g. A1B1C1D1 Build plane, focus on quality rather than speed Note the completion time in seconds +/ 5 [sec] Plot results for class and discuss Submit your task time online, e.g. 120 sec We will build a histogram and show results 5

8 MIT Class Results (2008) Beta Distribution parameters: a=2.27, b=5.26 8
9 Discussion Point 1 Job task durations are stochastic in reality Actual duration affected by Individual skills Learning curves what else? Why is the distribution not symmetric (Gaussian)? Project Task i 15 Frequency completion time [days] 9
10 Today s Agenda Probabilistic Task Times PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) Monte Carlo Simulation Signal Flow Graph Method System Dynamics 10
11 PERT PERT invented in 1958 for U.S Navy Polaris Project (BAH) Similar to CPM Treats task times probabilistically 10 B t=4 mo A t=3 mo t=1 mo t=3 mo Original PERT chart used activityonarc convention C E t=2 mo D F t=3 mo Image by MIT OpenCourseWare. 11
12 CPM vs PERT Difference how task duration is treated: CPM assumes time estimates are deterministic Obtain task duration from previous projects Suitable for implementation type projects PERT treats durations as probabilistic PERT = CPM + probabilistic task times Better for uncertain and new projects Limited previous data to estimate time durations Captures schedule (and implicitly some cost) risk 12
13 PERT Task time durations are treated as uncertain A optimistic time estimate minimum time in which the task could be completed everything has to go right M most likely task duration task duration under normal working conditions most frequent task duration based on past experience B pessimistic time estimate time required under particularly bad circumstances most difficult to estimate, includes unexpected delays should be exceeded no more than 1% of the time 13
14 AMB Time Estimates Project Task i Range of Possible Times 15 Frequency times completion time [days] Time A Time M Time B Assume a Betadistribution 14
15 BetaDistribution All values are enclosed within interval As classes get finer arrive at bdistribution Statistical distribution pdf: t A, B Beta function: x 0,1 15
16 MIT Class Results (2008) Beta Distribution parameters: a=2.27, b=
17 Expected Time & Variance Estimated Based on A, M & B Mean expected Time (TE) TE Time Variance (TV) 2 B A TV t 6 Early Finish (EF) and Late Finish (LF) computed as for CPM with TE Set T=F for the end of the project A 4 M B Example: A=3 weeks, B=7 weeks, M=5 weeks > then TE=5 weeks
18 What Can We Do With This? Compute probability distribution for project finish Determine likelihood of making a specific target date Identify paths for buffers and reserves 18
19 Probability Distribution for Finish Date PERT treats task times as probabilistic Individual task durations are bdistributed Simplify by estimating A, B and C times Sums of multiple tasks are normally distributed Normal Distribution for F See draft textbook Chapter 2, second half, for details of calculations. Time E[EF(n)]=F 19
20 Probability of meeting target? Many Projects have target completion dates, T Interplanetary mission launch windows 34 days Contractual delivery dates involving financial incentives or penalties Timed product releases (e.g. Holiday season) Finish construction projects before winter starts Analyze expected Finish F relative to T Normal Distribution for F Probability that project will be done at or before T T E[EF(n)]=F Time 20
21 Probabilistic Slack Target date for a tasks is not met when SL(i)<0, i.e. negative slack occurs Put buffers in paths with high probability of negative slack Normal (Gaussian) Distribution for Slack SL(i) SL(i) Time 21

28 Whatif analysis Spend more time on die design (1): Increase time spent on initial die design (1) from 3 to 6 days Increase likelihood of going to Initial Surface Modeling (7) from 0.25 to 0.75 Is this worthwhile doing? Original E[F]=37 days New E[F]= 37 days no real effect! Why? Spend more time on final surface modeling (8): Increase time for that task from 7 to 10 days Increase likelihood of Finishing from 0.5 to 0.75 New E[F] = 30.8 days Why is this happening? 28

34 Concept Question 2 What is your opinion of these long tails in project schedule distributions? I don t think they are real. This is a simulation artifact. Yes, they exist. I have experienced this. This is only relevant for projects that deal with very new products or extreme environments. I m not sure. I don t care. 34
35 System Dynamics Simulation Can carry out MonteCarlo Simulations with System Dynamics Vary key model parameters such as fraction correct and complete, productivity, rework discovery fraction, number of staff etc Assume distributions for these parameters Obtain insights into potential distribution of Time to completion, required staffing levels, error rates, project cost Improve planning and adaptation of projects, and confidence in claim numbers 35
