Q: Column name
Can a change a column name in any view?
A: You can chance column name in the grid for each view, but not in dialog boxes. For example, you can change column name for Risk Register, Result Gantt, Cost and Income, Resources and other views, but you cannot change column name of task information, resource information, and risk information dialog boxes. Changing column name is very useful when you try to translate column name on another language.
To change column name right click on column header - the column will be highlighted. Then from drop down menu Select Modify Column. In the dialog overwrite column name with new column name.
New column name will be saved in the project file. Each time you open ALM file you will be presented with new column name.

Maximum Project Duration
January 5, 2017
Q: Maximum Project Duration
What is the maximum project duration in RiskyProject Settings? How does it affect calculations?
A: Maximum project durations are set in the Project Settings dialog box. By default the maximum is set to 50 years. If the project duration exceeds the maximum duration, that is from the start date in any simulation it exceeds the maximum duration the project is cancelled for the particular iteration. This affects the overall success rate of the project.
In the example below, the maximum project duration has been set to 1 year. The project has a base duration of 200 working days, but could be as high as 300. Because of the uncertainties, the project is likely to exceed the maximum project duration on the majority of the iterations as the success rate is only 21%. That is, the project exceeds the 1 year maximum in 79% of the iterations.

Q: Calculating Expected Costs
How do you calculate an expected value for the cost of a project?
A: Expected values are calculated automatically as part of the Monte Carlo simulation and can be derived as cumulative probability or percentile. In the example below, the project has an expected value (EV) of $17,152,674.94 at the p80. In layman’s terms this means that the cost of the project will be at or below this cost 8 out of 10 times.

Integration with Asta PowerProject
December 23, 2016
Q: Integration with Asta PowerProject
Can I do risk analysis with Asta PowerProject using RiskyProject?
A: Yes, in Asta PowerProject you can save your project in Microsoft Project XML format. When you have saved the file, you can then Open RiskyProject and from the File menu, choose Import, Microsoft Project XML.
RiskyProject is largely compatible with Asta PowerProject files, though we do not support links between two tasks that have both SS and FF. In these cases, RiskyProject will ignore one of the links.

32 vs 64-bit versions of RiskyProject
December 23, 2016
Q: 32 vs 64-bit versions of RiskyProject
Is any different in functionality and performance of Win32 vs x64?
A: Whether you should use 32 or 64 bit version of software is dictated by the version of the operating system you have. 64-bit software will not run on 32-bit operating systems, though a 32-bit software will run on a 64-bit system. 64-bit software does provide some performance increases. Higher processing speed, better memory allocation are two, but this is irrelevant if you have a 32 bit Windows OS.
Rule of thumb: Install 32-bit software on a Windows 32-bit OS, install 64-bit software on a Windows 64-bit OS.
