Typical Skills / Tools Utilized –Conduct Schedule Risks AssessmentsConduct Schedule Risks Assessments
• Schedule Risk Assessments (SRAs) allows better understand of risk /uncertainty associated with the IMS
• SRA models the probability of achieving a particular activityor milestone completion by a given date via Monte Carlo algorithm
• Applies “Optimistic, Most Likely & Pessimistic” durations to Critical Path tasks and other selected tasks as required
• Most Likely Duration – current planned duration value • Optimistic – “Best Case” Duration• Pessimistic – “Worst Case” Duration• Duration criteria established by scope ownerDuration criteria established by scope owner• Yields standard set of reports (Distribution & Tornado Chart)
• Complete schedule logic / clear critical path is prerequisite
Histograms
Determines:Th h f “ ti ” • The chance of “on time” project completion
• Confidence levels for specific events
More realistic schedules increase the probability that projects will

meet their cost, schedule and technical objectives
Tornado Charts
Duration sensitivity is a measure of the correlation between the duration of individual activities and the completion of pe ified e entof a specified event
Isolates the activities most likely to cause a schedule delay or cost overrun

Grow & develop staff members◦ Processes tools & aircraft development knowledge◦ Processes, tools & aircraft development knowledge◦ Who is right for which project◦ Who would grow on a given project
Liaison with Program / Project Managers(people, processes, priorities, problems)
Facilitate key program meetings Facilitate key program meetings
Assist with utilization of project management tools across the company… applicable to project need(scheduling software SharePoint etc )(scheduling software, SharePoint, etc…)
Support company bid / proposal process to capture new business initiatives
25
You don’t have to use all the “tools”! (…Use what’s needed)
Don’t wait for everything to be “perfect” or all desired Don t wait for everything to be perfect or all desired data available to proceed (hint…it will never happen)
Be flexible to change
Always have these thoughts in mind:
◦ What is important / critical to this project and why?p / p j y
◦ What do we really need to measure & control?
◦ Why is this project being conducted? (..the originating purpose)y p j g ( g g p p )
◦ What does completion look like? (…when are we “done”)
◦ Does this make sense? (…analysis results; next steps, etc..)
26
Ideal skills to bring into Project Management

Holistic view of people, processes and systems
Ability to plan / model the effort needed to bring a desired result to fruition…and be willing to change
