Risk Kit 8.6 is here and brings planning and simulation closer together. Risk Kit has always been designed to make existing Excel models simulation-capable with only a few changes. With version 8.6, this transition becomes even cleaner: the existing plan value can now be deliberately preserved as the expected value of the simulated distribution. This is particularly relevant for PERT and triangular distributions. They can now be parametrized so that the expected value matches exactly the plan value set by the business. The simulation extends the model. It does not distort it. At the same time, you can control which value is visible in the cell when the simulation is not running: the expected value, a specific percentile, or a deliberately set static value. This visible value is crucial for communication in presentations, coordination meetings, management reports, and compatibility with existing planning logic. The result chart, shaped interactively, becomes a building block of the Excel report with a single click. This is how you turn an existing planning model into a simulation-capable decision model: consistent with the plan, clear in its presentation, and with significantly more methodological control. Risk Kit 8.6 is another step toward professional Monte Carlo simulation that works where planning actually happens in many companies: in Excel.
