New White Paper

Tony Welsh — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:57:29 +0000

Just back from the Construction CPM Conference, where I gave a paper on merge bias, a phenomenon which makes almost all deterministic schedules overly optimistic. I have posted the paper, as well as all the materials I used in the presentation, on our website. Go to www.barbecana.com/merge-bias or you can get to it [...]

Construction CPM Conference

Tony Welsh — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:59:36 +0000

I will be boarding a plane for Orlando tomorrow to attend the Construction CPM conference. Please stop by table 16 to take a look at Full Monte. Also, I will be presenting a paper at 9.35 on Tuesday about Merge Bias. (It is entitled “Was the project really late?” because I think what is perceived [...]

The second beta test version of Full Monte Schedule Risk Analysis was sent out yesterday. It corrects the remarkably small number of problems found in the first beta, and adds a few additional features. It also runs on Microsoft Project 2007 as well as 2010. We are still on track for commercial release in January. [...]

While at the PMI Global Congress earlier this week I was interviewed on camera about Full Monte by the Microsoft Project User Group. See the video below.

Great PMI Show

Tony Welsh — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:58:33 +0000

Just back from Barbecana’s first trade show, the PMI Global Congress, and very pumped up by the reception Full Monte received. Lots of interest in schedule risk analysis from Fortune 500 companies, and especially from users of Deltek’s Risk+ which is no longer being supported. I found demonstrating the product almost embarrassingly easy; [...]

Beta Test of Full Monte Cost and Schedule Risk Analysis

Tony Welsh — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 17:11:20 +0000

This started as planned on Monday, and feedback so far has been good. (If you thought you were on the beta test list and did not receive the download instructions, email info@barbecana.com.) We have had some constructive feedback as well as compliments about the speed. It is about 130 times faster than Risk+, which means [...]

Replacing Deltek’s Risk+

Tony Welsh — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 11:26:59 +0000

There’s a recent LinkedIn discussion “Now that Deltek has retired Risk+, what is your tool of choice for SRA?” Anyone here have the same concern? If so, we’d like to know what you are thinking. We think Full Monte will be more than just a replacement but a significant improvement.
