Deltek Acumen 6.1 Help

Viewing Uncertainty Values
You can view and edit activity uncertainty values and options in two places in the S3 // Risk tab Activity view.

Distribution Types
Acumen includes three distribution types when modeling uncertainty. You can see the distribution type in the Type column of the Risk activity view.

Disabling Uncertainty for Specific Activities
You can disable uncertainty values for any activity row by deselecting the Use Duration Uncertainty column check box for the selected activity.

Assigned Uncertainty
Assigning uncertainty is the first step when developing a risk model. Uncertainty is typically driven by unknown scope or complexity of work.

Risk Advisor
The Risk Adviser helps to speed up the uncertainty assignment process by suggesting uncertainty ranges for each activity based on a given criteria.

Importing and Exporting Activity Uncertainty Data
You can export uncertainty values for all in-progress and planned activities to an Excel spreadsheet.

Modeling Task Existence
Acumen Risk provides a means of modeling task existence.

Activity Correlation
Use this option to select activities within the schedule that may impact one another.

Uncertainty Distributions
During the Uncertainty loading process, the Gantt chart colors activities based on their uncertainty ranking.
