With cost and time burdens greater than ever before in a project set up, projects have to be creative and find workable ways to increase the probability of successfully completing target dates and durations. Even schedules put together based on years know-how, years of experience, and best practice cannot always accurately predict the future.

Adopting the approach needs added understanding of the rationale surrounding its use. The rationale traces the influence of quality, identified risks, and estimate uncertainties on the schedule. An adjustment in insight is needed for the reader to appreciate how varying activity certainties adversely affects the time objectives. The book touches on schedule alignment, integration, risk, achievability and the consequence of ignoring them. The step-by-step instructions on how to develop a P50 Risk-based Baseline Schedule is detailed in this book. The concept is clear, so why not try it in your next project and let us know what happened. The book is for risk and project management practitioners who want to try something new and reasonable.
