Hi,
I’m doing a risk assessment of a schedule using Pertmaster and got stuck when trying to determine which distribution model would fit the activities. Does anyone have a hint how to determine which would be the suitable model? (i.e BetaPart, Triangular, Trigen etc). By default Pertmaster suggested to use Triangular.
Thanks.

Oldest first- 0Peter Holroyd ·Don’t get to hung up on the minute detail. The fact you are doing a schedule duration risk assessment is good.
I usually use triangle (95/115)for D & E, rectangular (100/120) for materials & equipment and revert to triangular for construction (95/135) -this is biased to pessimism against "normal" values cause thats reality
Don’t forget you are only modelling duration variances - use other values. The duration is a function of so many variables.
Try the next step and add in the risks to the analysis!!

If you can get the recorded time for the activities of interest, i am willing to help you determine distribution.
Good Luck :)
