Re: [Planner Dev] Uncertainty management / MonteCarlo simulation



Great question.

I've just completed a basic monte carlo program that works as an add-in to MS Project (Visual basic)

As I get up to speed with Planner dev, I hope to build the same capability into planner - and then some...

IN the open source environment it will be substantially easier to add simulation capability than it is to "bolt on" after market capability with M$project

Hi, I'm new to the list and I wanted to know some questions about future
development.

Is it planned to introduce any type of uncertainty management or the possibility
to run Monte Carlo simulations within planner?  (The first step would be
the possibility to enter the uncertain durations)

I'm a research assistant doing something about this.  I think that one of
the biggest problems with the tools that implement something like that is
that they were implemented as an after thought.  I find really difficult
to visualize the results of a simulation and hard to tie it with the scheduling
of the project.

I'm not a programer, although I have done some.  In my actual research I'm
doing some things in python like a Monte Carlo simulation solver.  It did
it actually to benchmark a new method we are researching.  I've read that
there is a possibility of using python with planner.  What would be a good
tutorial or starting point to use planner with python?

Thanks in advance,
Santiago
