Time and priority allocation scheduling technique for projects

This paper presents an advanced scheduling technique known as TAPAS. It has been developed over the past 3 years as a direct response to the needs of project managers working in a complex and undertain environment, in which continuous risk management has become a necessity of life. The work on TAPAS has always had the objective of integrated risk management of projects as its main focus. Thus, TAPAS, which occupies only one module of an integrated software known as project management information system, is fully compatible with the earned value technique, can schedule project activities without a network, can generate a risk profile and works well for probabilistic forecasting of project duration.
