If you remember the earlier diagram above (diagram 1) [see Uncertain events part 3], this represents 2 uncertain events and shows how we dealt with them. The main task was the purchase of 10 pumps with the potential uncertain event being the purchase of a possible additional 5 pumps.
It shows 2 pathways:
Pathway 1 | = 70% likelihood of occurring |
MINIMUM | = £10,000 |
MAXIMUM | = £15,000 |
LIKELY | = £12,500 |
And
Pathway 2 | = 30% likelihood of occurring |
MINIMUM | = £15,000 |
MAXIMUM | = £22,500 |
LIKELY | = £18,750 |
This suggests that the total cost could lie between £10,000 to £22,500.
The total cost (with the uncertain event) could be represented by a 3 point estimate similar to the lower diagram above (diagram 2).
