Phases

Phases are user-definable 'segments' of time against which a Fuse Analysis is run.

Phases can be weeks, days, months, quarters, years, custom periods, or the entire project duration.

For a phase analysis, the Acumen Fuse engine calculates results across ribbons within a specific time slice or phase. This tends to be more complex than a ribbon analysis because activities may span multiple phases.

In the example below, a simple project with three activities spans a four-week period.
