Simulation. A simulation uses a project model that translates the uncertainties specified at a detailed level intotheir potential impact on objectives that are expressed at the level of the total project. Project simulations usecomputer models and estimates of risk, usually expressed as a probability distribution of possible costs or durationsat a detailed work level, and are typically performed using Monte Carlo analysis.Glossary
