S4 // Acceleration Tab (Acumen 360)

Acumen 360 is a schedule remediation and acceleration product. You use it to accelerate or compress project schedules to meet faster completion deadlines or to get a delayed project back on track.

In addition, 360 can be used to hypothesize acceleration options or model potential delays.

Note: You can also accelerate a project schedule from the S1 // Projects tab by clicking Accelerate Schedule in the Scenario Generation group.

Acumen 360 runs a CPM simulation running hundreds of iterations, progressively accelerating the project towards a defined goal using sets of user-definable criteria.

There are three acceleration options:

• Automatic, Goal-Based allows you to define the acceleration target and let Acumen 360 automatically generate the schedule scenario that meets that goal.
• Targeted allows you to define the acceleration goal and the criteria for acceleration (for example, accelerate construction activities by 50%).
• Interactive allows you to accelerate or decelerate individual activities or groups of activities using the duration calibration sliders.

The S4 // Acceleration tab includes a script library/editor and a step library/editor.
