Abstract
To ascertain the viability of a project, undertake resource allocation, take part in bidding processes and similar project related decisions, modern project management requires forecasting techniques for costs, duration and performance of a project, not only under normal circumstances, but also accounting for external events that might abruptly change the "status quo". We provide a Bayesian framework for such problem, in which we predict the probability and the impact of various disruptive events and, consequently, a global forecast of project performance. We focus on project costs to introduce the methodology, but the ideas apply equally to project duration or performance forecasting.
