Cost Estimates

You can create a new cost estimate directly within Acumen Risk in order to perform a cost risk analysis.

In addition, you can organize cost estimate activities into a hierarchy or cost breakdown structure. You can create a new cost estimate on the S1 // Projects tab as well as the S3 // Risks tab.

When you create a cost estimate from a schedule, no locks are copied or maintained.

Example of Organizing Cost Estimate Activities into Hierarchies

In the example below, New Activity 5 was dragged onto the row titled Parent 2. This makes New Activity 5 a child of Parent 2.

You can create any number of hierarchical levels or groups in the cost estimate.

In the example below, New Activity 5 has been turned into a parent activity by adding a new activity (New Activity 6) and dragging it onto the New Activity 5 row.

Any time an activity, or group of activities, is dragged onto another row, it becomes a child of that row.
