Modeling the Future is the Basis of Project Success

Herding Cats

For approaches that have been implemented on existing systems, obtaining such understanding may require measurement and analysis. For scenarios where the project under consideration does not yet exist, performance prediction using analytical modeling or simulation is necessary. The IMS is then placed on a baseline in the PMB.

Cone of Uncertainty - Part Cinq

Herding Cats

When actual measures of cost, schedule, and technical performance are outside the planned cone of uncertainty, corrective actions must be taken to move those uncertanties inside the cone of uncertanty, if the project is going to meet it's cost, schedule, and technical performance goals. .

The Measures that are modeled in the Cone of Uncertainty are the Quantitative basis of a control process that establishes the goal for the performance measures. This is a closed loop control system for managing the program with a T echnical Performance Measure (TPM). Resources. [1] 14] Galorath, D.
