Tell me something I don’t know
Simply adding the ability to model variability is telling project managers something they already know: including variability and resource constraints often will produce less than favorable project schedules. To be useful, the tool must provide the ability to analyze and optimize the project plan, exposing areas of opportunity for improvement in spite of future uncertainties and constraints.

Project Simulator is that tool. It provides the scenario management infrastructure that leads you to answers, not just the probability of outcomes.

Project Simulator is the only scenario planning, simulation and reporting tool designed for Microsoft Project.

Project Scenario Planning?
Project Simulator allows you to easily create scenarios. A scenario represents a distinct, conceivable project future. Project Simulator’s simulation engine simulates each scenario, including future randomness.

Scenario planning enables you to understand the cause and effect of the most uncertain and critical factors affecting your project future. Exploring scenarios gives you visibility into the dynamics of your project, allowing decision-makers to test their beliefs about the way their project works. Scenario planning with simulation allows you to stretch the envelope of your thinking in a risk-free environment.

Given the impossibility of knowing precisely how the future will play out, a good project strategy is one that executes well against several possible scenarios. To find the optimal strategy, multiple scenarios must be created, simulated and analyzed against each other.

Strategies that have been analyzed with the range of future uncertainty against multiple potential project futures are more likely to stand the test of time. Project scenario planning with simulation offers a distinct competitive advantage.

“Decisions which have been pre-tested against a range of what fate may offer are more likely to stand the test of time, produce robust and resilient strategies, and create distinct competitive advantage.”
