Description: Project Flight Deck
At the start of his “journey”, Mario focused on algorithms for constructing simulated schedules. He found that his students in business school were more interested in risk analysis and project control than algorithms.
In 2003, things changed. Walt Lipke published “Schedule Is Different”. For Mario, it was a “seminal” work—it strongly influenced him to move in a different direction.
First, Mario embedded Earned Schedule in his research. In a simulation study with Stephan Vandevoorde, he confirmed the accuracy of ES versus other metrics.
