What-If Scenario Analysis

A technique that explores hypothetical situations to forecast how they could influence project objectives such as scope, schedule, cost, and quality.

Key Points

  • Tests alternative assumptions or events to see potential outcomes.
  • Supports risk, schedule, and cost decisions by revealing impacts on objectives.
  • Can be qualitative or quantitative, done manually or with modeling and simulation tools.
  • Findings guide contingency reserves, response plans, and updates to baselines.

Example

A project manager evaluates three cases for a critical component delivery: on time, 2-week delay, and partial shipment. They adjust the schedule for each case to see changes to the critical path, finish date, and costs, then decide to place a backup order and add schedule reserve.
