Configure Trigen Defaults for a Risk

Trigen distribution allows you to specify the probability of exceeding minimum and maximum values for cost and duration estimates during a risk analysis. This allows for a more nuanced representation of possible outcomes, and addresses the limitations of a standard triangle distribution where the minimum and maximum values are treated as absolute boundaries with zero probability.

The configured trigen default is used for all new projects created in the workspace.

To set the Trigen defaults:

1. In the object selector, select Workspace, select View Workspaces List, and then select a workspace name.
2. From the Main Menu, select Summary & Settings.
3. On the Summary & Settings page, select Defaults & Options, and then select Risk.
4. Select the Defaults tab.
5. In the Trigen section, define the Lower Percentage and Upper Percentage values. The default is set to 10% and 90%, respectively.
6. Select Save.

This setting is used in the following apps:
