| Criticality
|
Select this option to display the frequency (as a percentage) at which an activity falls on the critical path.
|
| Criticality is a traditional risk metric reporting how often an activity (or group of activities) falls on the critical path. Criticality indicates how stable the critical path is as a result of risk and uncertainty. While it is a useful measure of critical path stability, it is not a sound measure for which activities most impact risk exposure. For this, use the Cost/Schedule Contribution Factor.
|
| Schedule Contribution
|
Select this option to view schedule risk drivers.
|
| Cost Contribution
|
Select this option to view cost risk drivers.
|
| Display Level
|
Use the slider to specify the level of detail that displays in the Risk Driver view.
|
| Add to Comparison
|
Select this option to add the current tornado result set to the risk driver comparison. When you have multiple result sets added, you can use the
view to compare the result sets.
|
| Configuration
|
Use these options to specify how you want the risk driver to display.
- Analysis
- Calculate Risk Exposure at sets the P value (percentage value), which affects the length of the activity. For example, if you calculate risk exposure with a P value of 50, you are stating that you want Acumen to calculate the dates for activities based on a 50% chance of completion. If you set the P value at 80, then Acumen will lengthen those activities until they have an 80% chance of completion.
- Use relative values displays values in percentage. If you don't select it, the values display in days.
- Bars
- Mode allows you to specify whether you want to view by
Activities or
Events.
- Detail Level allows you to select
Summarize Risk to display a single bar for the activity,
Uncertainty and Risk
to display the events that push the activity in groups, or
Uncertainty and Specified Risk
to display all events that are pushing the activity individually.
- Show Top specifies the number of activities that are pushing the schedule to display.
- Activity Labels displays the activity labels.
- Display Event IDs within bars displays the risk event ID's.
- Legend
- Display Legend displays the graph legend or key.
- Display Event Description displays the event descriptions.
- Heading
- When you are viewing the Risk Drivers tornado chart (), use
Display Heading to switch the risk drivers tornado chart heading on or off. Turning the header off allows the chart to fill a greater area of the pane for easier viewing. Acumen remembers your choice and displays it the same way the next time you view the tornado chart.
