Schedule Risk Management

Schedule is ubiquitous through every stage of planning and execution. Application of the Probability-Impact (or Likelihood-Consequence) models generate the worst possible results, yet investigation will show this is exactly how the state of the art conducts schedule risk management. The math is literally wrong.
   The best schedulers, the master schedulers, become this way by experience. They learn the difficult and counter-intuitive mores of planning a schedule the hard way. They seem to know arrivals and occurrences of events ahead of time. Our schedule risk management techniques simply accept and incorporate the seeming paradoxes of schedule mechanics, without worrying that they don't seem to make sense.
   Turn all your planners into master schedulers, and indoctrinate them to concepts that will allow them to apply their abilities and grow.
