Abstract :
This paper seeks modeling guidelines by which project teams may respond confidently to the client´s urgency while simultaneously assuring valuable and valid analyses. The paper concludes that “de-scoping” is the only reliable approach for accelerating a business process simulation project in response to client pressures. A thought experiment supports this conclusion
