Audited planning profile
This shared three-year profile applies a 3× editable baseline across 36 model periods to the task list buffer model.
Use the buffered result for planning and the unbuffered result as the transparent baseline. Define a consistent allocation rule so shared usage is not counted twice. Run an adverse case for inflation, downtime and changing demand over three years.
Interruptions, dependencies, holidays and human variability must be added to the editable inputs or buffer.
Compare the estimate with recent actual completion times and reserve capacity for interruptions.
