Understand and improve the probability of delivering projects on time and on budget. DICE quantifies uncertainty across every task in your project, transforming estimated duration ranges into actionable intelligence on schedule risk and cost exposure.
What Is DICE Project Analysis?
Most tasks in your project have uncertainty in the number of days they will take, and that uncertainty accumulates. DICE runs thousands of simulations to show the probability of completion by any specific date and identify the deadline-critical, highly uncertain tasks where attention matters most.
- Duration Range InputsProvide a best-case and worst-case duration estimate for each task, along with task dependencies.
- Completion ProbabilitySee the statistical likelihood of finishing your project by any given date.
- Task PrioritizationIdentify which tasks carry the most uncertainty and the greatest impact on your timeline, so you can focus effort where it matters most.
- Cost Risk AnalysisTranslate schedule uncertainty into dollars and understand how delays affect your budget before they happen.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Monte Carlo project risk analysis?
Monte Carlo project risk analysis runs thousands of simulations of how a project timeline could realistically play out, turning uncertain task durations into the probability of finishing by a given date. It replaces a single-point estimate with a probability distribution. TILT delivers this through DICE, which also flags which tasks drive the most schedule and cost risk.
What does DICE actually deliver?
Two outputs. One: the probability of completion by any specific date, based on what you know today. Two: which tasks are both deadline-critical and highly uncertain, so you know exactly where to focus. DICE also translates schedule uncertainty into dollars so you see budget exposure before it happens.
Who uses DICE?
Teams delivering complex projects on a deadline and a budget: developers, contractors, program managers, and operators who need a defensible read on schedule and cost risk. DICE is built for projects where task-level uncertainty accumulates into real exposure that a Gantt chart does not show.
What inputs does DICE need from me?
A task list with dependencies, plus a best-case and worst-case duration estimate for each task. You do not need a single "expected" number per task. DICE uses the ranges and the dependency structure to simulate how uncertainty compounds across the full schedule.
Does DICE quantify cost risk or only schedule risk?
Both. DICE produces the schedule probability distribution and translates that uncertainty into dollars, showing how delays flow through to budget. You see the cost impact of schedule risk before committing, not after a slip has already happened.
How is DICE different from standard project management tools?
Gantt charts and tools like MS Project show a single planned timeline. DICE models the uncertainty around that plan: it simulates thousands of outcomes and reports the probability of hitting a date plus the tasks that carry the most combined risk and impact. It is a risk-quantification layer, not a scheduling replacement.
Can DICE be customized to my project structure?
Yes. Justin scopes DICE to your task structure, dependency logic, and reporting needs. Projects with unusual sequencing, conditional tasks, or specific cost-linkage requirements are handled as part of the engagement rather than forced into a fixed template.
How does a DICE engagement start?
Start with a free consultation. Submit the contact form or email Justin; he replies within 24 hours. After a short scoping call to understand the project and the decision at stake, Justin sets up the analysis and returns initial outputs in a few calls and a draft.
