Kym Henderson has generalized a statistically
based calculator, originally created by Walt Lipke.
The output of the calculator is upper and lower “bounds”
for both final cost and duration along with their respective
“most likely” results. The Statistical Prediction
Calculator is now included on the Calculator page. It
is a beta version and thus it should be used with the
understanding that its results have not been fully tested.
Two examples are included in the .zip file to
help understand its output and to facilitate application.

Diego Navarro, a project management
leader in Spain, has advanced the application of Earned
Schedule with the creation of a software macro implementing
the concept for use with Microsoft Project (MSP).
Interested MSP users can read a description of the macro
at Diego’s blog, http://direccion-proyectos.blogspot.com/2007/04/performing-earned-schedule-analysis.html.
Kym Henderson uses MSP extensively and has worked
with Diego to check the application in English form.
The macro requires use before it can be considered reliable.
If you would like to use the macro and provide feedback
to Diego, please contact him at his email, dnavarro@armell.com.
