[1] Robust Project Design

Project modeling as it should be.

Foreword

Our models of real projects are the tools that shape management decisions. Robust Project Design is the practice of creating models, of real projects, which yield unbiased estimates of project-duration, with minimum uncertainty in those estimates. Once available, the resulting models enable us to monitor the health of the corresponding projects and to make steadily improving predictions regarding the remaining duration, from the present to future events of interest.
