RESOURCE STRATEGIES FOR DYNAMIC PROJECT MANAGEMENT

A research model that explores methods of modeling projects, Dynastrat, is described. It is a method for modeling a dynamic strategy of resource allocation, and is a product of research to model progress and cost of conctruction projects under uncertainty. It combines several unique features that show the relationship among construction parameers: shared dependencies of activity durations and costs on common random variables; the relationship of duration and cost of activities, and projects when duration and cost are uncertain; and project resource allocation under uncertain activity durations and costs. Dynastrat's most significant contribution is its assessment of the impact of different resource allocation priorities on project time and cost.
