Summary The advantages of probabilistic time planning techniques, compared to deterministic ones, are discussed and an approach to probabilistic planning is presented. The approach includes an analysis of disturbancy factors, and a method of estimating the distribution of project completion time by using Monte Carlo simulation. It is shown how this result may be used to calculate the need for development buffers, which also has been demonstrated on a particular case, the Oscar project, a sublevel stoping operation in the Kiruna mine, Sweden.
