Intersection Analyzer

The intersection analysis is the most detailed of the three analyzers as it pinpoints exceptions within ribbons and phases combined.

In addition to running an analysis against a ribbon or phase, Acumen Fuse also enables metric reporting against a single segment within the ribbon browser.

The intersection analyzer is slightly different from the ribbon and phase analyzer in that it can only report one metric at a time. However, in the same manner as ribbons and phases, results can be shown in both a tabular and graphical format.

Intersection analysis only includes activities within a specific ribbon within a specific phase. The example below shows two activities in MS Project that overlap with respect to time.

When Acumen analyzes the activities using two metrics (original duration and Total Cost), the assigned metric (Total Cost) for each intersection is calculated separately.
