PRM provides the basis upon which to estimate the amount of cost
and schedule contingency reserves that are needed to cover the risk
response actions to a required level of confidence for meeting
project objectives.
The total of the work at the lowest levels should roll up to the higher
levels so that nothing is left out (what all is necessary) and no extra
work is performed (only what is necessary), A.K.A. 100% rule.

WBS WBS Reporting Levels
A work package is the work defined at the lowest level of the WBS for
which ,cost and duration can be estimated and managed.
Therefore, a work package can be used to group the activities where work
is scheduled and estimated, monitored, and controlled.
It is important that the duration of work package be neither too short nor
too long.

Management Reserve
The Cost baseline is the approved version of the time-phased project budget,
excluding any management reserves, which can only be changed through BAC

Cost estimates for the various project activities, along with any contingency
reserves for these activities, are aggregated into associated work package costs.
The work package cost estimates, along with any contingency reserves
estimated for the work packages, are aggregated into control accounts.
Management Reserve
Total funding requirements and periodic funding BAC
requirements (e.g., quarterly, annually) are
derived from the cost baseline.
in incremental amounts,
and may not be evenly distributed, which appear
as steps.
Cost Baseline
The total funds required are those included in the
cost baseline plus management reserves.

Test $ 11 $ 15M $ 23M
Total Project $ 31 M $ 41M $ 68M
Interviewing relevant stakeholders helps determine the three-point
estimates for each WBS element.
The cumulative distribution, assuming the given data ranges and triangular
distribution, shows that project is only 12% likely to meet the $41M estimate.
. . . but before that let’s have a quick recap of CPM and PERT
CPM PERT PRM and Scheduling
While CPM is easy to use, it does not consider the time variations
that can have a great impact on the completion time of a real life
project.
The critical path is the longest path through the network diagram
and has the least amount of slack or float.
