1 Poor Man s Approach to Monte Carlo Based on the PMI PMBOK Guide Fourth Edition 20 IPDI has been reviewed and approved as a provider of project management training by the Project Management Institute (PMI). 1 Version 4.1 Monte Carlo Answers the Question: What is the probability of this project being successful? Monte Carlo: Uses project models and simulations that translates the uncertainties specified at a detailed level into their potential impact on objectives that are expressed at the level of the total project Or, put another way: How likely are you to stay out of trouble on your project? 2 Version 4.1 Integrated Process Developers, Inc.

2 Monte Carlo Monte Carlo uses probability distributions based on historical information to predict the probability of potential outcomes The basic steps of the Monte Carlo technique 1. Determine the probability distribution for the variables being considered (duration and work/) 2. For each variable within its specific range, select a value randomly within the probability distribution. 3. Run a deterministic analysis using the combination of values selected for each one of the variables 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 a statistically significant number of times to obtain the probability distribution of the result 3 Version 4.1 Monte Carlo A Example Based on a Project of 60 days Analysis Indicates 1 Standard Deviation = 10 days Probability of Occurrence 98% 84% 50% 16% 2.27% Project Duration 40 days -2σ 50 days 60 days 70 days 80 days -1σ u +1σ +2σ Adapted from PMBOK Guide Fourth Edition, pg. 300, Fig Version 4.1 Integrated Process Developers, Inc.
