Importing and Filtering Cost/Schedule Files

You can conduct a risk analysis on both projects and snapshots within Acumen Risk.

The starting point for a risk analysis is to import a cost/schedule file from, for example, MS Project, Primavera, or MS Excel. Use the standard file import options on the S1 // Projects tab to import data for a risk analysis.

If you are working on a risk model and have assigned uncertainties and risk events, Acumen Risk supports a subsequent import of an updated cost/schedule file while still retaining your assigned uncertainty/risk values. This allows you to run a risk analysis on updated schedules without having to re-create the risk model upon each subsequent update. You can re-import the schedule/cost file from the Projects view.

Use a Filter to Focus on a Certain Subset of Activities

Use the activity view filter to view a certain subset of activities to which you can apply risks or uncertainties.
