get_number_of_review_periods

Get the number of review periods that have been generated in the current simulation run.

The number of review periods or tracking periods is particularly relevant when the nrruns parameter of the P2Simulator:run_simulation function is set to 1. In this approach, the simulation generates in single run a set of review periods to imitate fictitious project progress that allows the analysis of the EVM data metrics. When multiple runs are performed during a simulation study, the number of review periods differs from run and run and the get_number_of_review_periods function will report a different value for each run.
