Audited planning profile
This standard ten-year profile applies a 1× editable baseline across 120 model periods to the recurring meetings buffer model.
Use the buffered result for planning and the unbuffered result as the transparent baseline. Use this as the central case, then compare a lean and conservative profile. Use a wide uncertainty range; small recurring assumption errors compound substantially over ten 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.
