How can we mitigate the risk of failure while managing realistic expectations?<\/p>\n<p>The secret lies in accepting that there is more than one possible result that may happen in the future and managing that uncertainty effectively. <\/p>\n<p>Here is the thing.<\/p>\n<p>To provide a reliable forecast, you need to communicate the range of the delivery dates you can hit, together with the probabilities that come with it. <\/p>\n<p>Your commitment should look something like, \u201cWe expect to deliver this project before the 5th of March and we are 85% certain that we can achieve this goal\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Now, are we saying that we will deliver exactly on the 5th of March? No, we aren\u2019t. What we are saying is that we\u2019ll probably finish earlier, but it won\u2019t be later than the 5th of March and there is an 85% probability that we\u2019ll keep our promise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pay attention to the language we use here. It may seem to be a simple wording change but it will have significant implications.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every time you provide a delivery commitment, ask yourself, \u201cWhat\u2019s the chance of meeting that goal\u201d? And if the approach you use to make delivery predictions doesn\u2019t enable you to quantify that probability, it\u2019s worth considering an alternative. <\/p>\n<p>Remember, the main purpose of estimating is to manage risks effectively. There\u2019s always risk involved and the most effective approach to managing realistic expectations is to quantify that risk by assessing the probability of achieving your goals. <\/p>\n<p>Every delivery prediction should communicate the risk associated with it. <\/p>\n<h2>You Don\u2019t Need a Crystal Ball<\/h2>\n<p>So, how can we quantify that risk? The best predictor of your future behavior is your past behavior. More often than not, your past is going to reflect the future, especially if you\u2019re in control of your management practices.<\/p>\n<p>There is a tool that will enable you to come up with an accurate delivery commitment without spending any extra time and effort. <\/p>\n<p>That tool is called <a href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/monte-carlo-simulation-explained\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Monte Carlo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Monte-Carlo.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Monte-Carlo.png\" alt=\"Monte Carlo\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1125\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Monte-Carlo.png 1999w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Monte-Carlo-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Monte-Carlo-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Monte-Carlo-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Monte-Carlo-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Monte-Carlo-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Monte-Carlo-585x329.png 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When determining our delivery dates, we use Monte Carlo simulations to come up with a <strong>range of commitments<\/strong> and the <strong>probabilities that come with each of them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The simulation relies on a large number of random trials based on your historical performance data to predict your throughput for a future time frame. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/kanban-throughput-histogram\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Throughput<\/a> is the number of items completed in a certain time period.
