Some may say this is confusing, but as an integrated approach for Project Management, SDPM contains aspects of its application that are seen in other methods or techniques. This section will sustain comparative data of SDPM when related to: CPM, PERT, CCPM, Monte Carlo, Risk Analysis, EVM, and others. It is important to remember that by being compared, we do not necessarily should understand that we must select from one or another. As an example, we may adopt EVM to a project in which SDPM is being used and therefore monitor data with both CPI/SPI (Cost and Schedule Performance Index from EVM) and SPIx (Success Probability Indexes for cost, schedule, teams, etc). It is also possible that we may explain that Monte Carlo is not the best option to create probability trends for SDPM, but also agree that if that is our only option, it may still be used. |
