Doing Analytics Right - Designing and Automating AnalyticsTasktop
There is no “one-sized fits all” of development analytics. It is not as simple as “here are the measures you need, go implement them.” The world of software delivery is too complex, and software organizations differ too significantly, to make it that simple. As discussed in the first webinar, the analytics you need depend on your unique business goals and environment.
That said, the design of your analytics solution will still require:
* The dashboards,
* the required data, and
* an appropriate choice of analytical techniques and statistics to apply to the data.
This webinar will describe a straightforward method for finding your analytic solution. In particular, we will explain how to adapt the Goal, Question, Metric (GQM) method to development processes. In addition, we will explain how to avoid “the light is brighter here” analytics anti-pattern: the idea that organizations tend to design metrics programs around the data they can easily get, rather than figuring out how to get the data they really need.
Everyone has been given a 2 paragraph document listing the "scope of services" for a potential project. The client would like an estimate in 48 hours and there are no more details to help you deliver that required fixed bid contract. At the same time, many teams have also been given (or created) a detailed PRD or backlog document and still had a project budget balloon out of control. In this session I would like to discuss the not only the problems associated with estimation and how to avoid them, but more importantly how we can plan for them, turning our estimation process into not only an art, but a science. Well cover how to sell your estimate internally, and arm you with the methodologies to support your numbers.

Stop Flying Blind! Quantifying Risk with Monte Carlo SimulationSam McAfee
Product development is inherently risky. While lean and agile methods are praised for supporting rapid feedback from customers through experiments and continuous iteration, teams could do a lot better at prioritizing using basic modeling techniques from finance. This talk will focus on quantitative risk modeling when developing new products or services that do not have a well understood product/market fit scenario. Using modeling approaches like Monte Carlo simulations and Cost of Delay scenarios, combined with qualitative tools like the Lean Canvas and Value Dynamics, we will explore how lean innovation teams can bring scientific rigor back into their process.

Similar to Monte Carlo and Schedule Risk Analysis (20)
RiskyProject 7.2 is a major software release of Project Risk Analysis and Risk Management Software. It includes multiple improvements for both its project risk management and risk analysis capabilities.
RiskyProject is designed for project managers without advanced knowledge of risk analysis theory. With it, you can create a project schedule or use project schedule from Microsoft® Project, Oracle® Primavera, or other project management software. Once you have your schedule, just define your risks using risk register and calculate the schedule to determine your risk profile.
RiskyProject has an integrated fully feature risk register that allows you to perform project risk management. The risk register can be either qualitative or quantitative and can include non-schedule risks, such as reputation, quality, and performance. Risks can be linked to project activities to measure how they will impact cost and schedule as part of the Monte Carlo Simulations.
How Risk Events and Uncertainties can affect your projectIntaver Insititute
All projects are subject to risk that may alter its course and result in delays, cost overruns, or change in scope. Project risk analysis can use two different methods to model the potential impact of risk on project: uncertainties and risk events.
Construction projects face a myriad of risks that can quickly balloon costs and delay completion. These risks come from many sources including financial, political, regulatory, environment and execution. In our presentation you will discover lessons from construction risk analysis, which can be applicable for other industries. You will learn how construction project managers perform integrated cost and schedule risk analysis. This includes:
* What is so unique about construction project risk analysis
* Why construction projects are often behind schedule and over budget
* Risk analysis in bidding process
* Critical Path for construction schedules with risks and uncertainties
* Risk associated with resources in construction projects
* Examples of project risk analysis of construction schedules

The key aspect of linear projects is how it adds a distance dimension to each activity. Linear projects with this distance dimension include high-rise buildings (vertical) or roads, pipelines, and railways (horizontal).
The reasons for linear projects running over budget and schedule almost always are due to errors in judgement and subsequent errors in decision making. One of the key methods used to minimize the impact of management biases is project risk analysis and risk management.
The presentation shows how to use risk analysis for linear schedules.

Project Risk Analysis and Risk Management Software RiskyProject version 7.1Intaver Insititute
Intaver Institute Inc. released new version of its Project Risk Analysis and Risk Management Software RiskyProject v7.1. This presentation shows new features of the software
In linear projects activities are associated with certain locations. They are usually construction projects, such as building and roads where each activities have location attributes in addition to duration, start and finish times, cost, resources and other attributes of traditional project schedules.
Time location charts are a way of visualizing project schedules with linear locations on the horizontal axis, and dates on the vertical axis. Schedule activities are then plotted onto the chart according to the locations over which they occur and the dates that the project schedule determines.
Time location charts could be presented for original project schedule and risks-adjusted project schedule.
Risk adjusted project schedule is a result of project risk analysis
How to manage risk resilient project and project portfolio. Risk resilient projects and portfolio include risk mitigation and risk response plans. They are defined as a result of project risk analysis. This is a presentation for Society of Risk Analysis World Congress on Risk, Cape Town, May 2019.
Creating and managing risk adjusted project schedules is an important step of schedule risk analysis. Risk adjusted project schedule is obtained based on quantitative risk analysis, particularly Monte Carlo schedule risk analysis. Risks and uncertainties can lead to changes in duration and cost of schedule activities; as a result schedule with risks and uncertainties may look significantly different than original project schedule. Risk adjusted project schedule is a 'realistic project schedule', which should be managed.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Monte Carlo simulations take multiple distributions and create
histograms to depict the results of the analysis
5. Two Approaches to Estimating Probabilities
• The relative frequency approach, where
probability equals the number of occurrences of
specific outcome (or event) divided by the total
number of possible outcomes.
• The subjective approach represents an expert’s
degree of belief that a particular outcome will
occur.
6. Two of Approaches for Defining Uncertainties
• Distribution-based approach
• Event-based approach
• Monte Carlo can be used to simulate
the results of discrete risk events with
probability and impact on multiple
activities
7. What Distribution Should Be Used?
Normal Triangual Uniform
Also useful for Monte Carlo simulations:
• Lognornal
• Beta
8. Ignoring Base-Rate Frequencies
• Historically, the probability that a particular component will be
defective is 1%.
• The component is tested before installation.
• The test showed that the component is defective.
• The test usually successfully identifies defective components
80% of the time.
• What is the probability that a component is defective?
The correct answer is close to 4%, however, most people would
think that answer is a little bit lower than 80%.
10. Eliciting Judgment About Probabilities of Single Events
• Pose a direct question: “What is the probability that
the project will be canceled due to budgetary
problems?”
• Ask the experts two opposing questions: (1) “What is
the probability that the project will be canceled?”
and (2) “What is the probability the project will be
completed?” The sum of these two assessments
should be 100%.
• Break compound events into simple events and
review them separately.
11. Probability Wheel
25% No delay of activity
35% 3 day delay of activity
40% 5 day delay of activity
Use of visual aids like a probability wheel can aid in the increasing
validity of estimates

Question: How many times the duration
will be between 2 and 3 days?
Plotting possible estimates on a histogram can help improve estimatesc
14. How Many Trials Are Required?
• Huge number of trials (> 1000) usually does not
increase accuracy of analysis
• Incorporate rare events
• Use convergence monitoring
15. What Is The Chance That a Project Will Be on Time And Within
Budget?
16. Analysis of Monte Carlo Results
• Sensitivity and Correlations
• Critical Indices
• Crucial tasks
• Critical Risks
• Probabilistic Calendars
• Deadlines
• Conditional Branching
• Probabilistic Branching
• Chance of Task Existence
17. Crucial Tasks
Crucial tasks for
project duration
Monte Carlo analysis identifies task cruciality, how often
tasks are on the critical path.

• You have tools to track actual data for each
phase of the project
• You have a group of experts who understand

projects, and are trained to avoid cognitive
and motivational biases
