Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented modeling process of managing a project having multiple tasks and milestones, each task being assigned to at least one milestone, the process comprising: computer processing said tasks and milestones by: presenting each said task by a quantum mechanical wave function; presenting each said milestone as a sum of the task quantum mechanical wave functions; defining temporal uncertainty for each milestone planned date; applying a random distribution to each task in order to obtain a plurality of project samples for each milestone, wherein each random distribution has a dispersion equal to said defined temporal uncertainty for each milestone; obtaining an average milestone wave function for each milestone by summing said plurality of project samples; obtaining a milestone probability density for each milestone by squaring said average milestone wave functions for each milestone; obtaining a probability of scheduled work completion for each said milestone by normalizing an integral of said probability density to unity; and managing the project by optimizing said probability of scheduled work completion for each milestone to be completed as scheduled.
