Introduction Project scheduling presents a fundamental challenge: given a set of tasks with varying durations, dependencies, and resource requirements, how can we predict when each task will complete? Traditional approaches often rely on static calculations that assume perfect conditions. The scheduler described in this article takes a different approach by…
In this third installment, we’ll analyze how the simulation estimates completion dates by tracking both the skills developers bring to the table and the skills required to execute groups of tasks. This matching process pinpoints which developers will be overburdened with work, and which ones will starve because not enough…
