Uncertainty (Risk) Inputs
For activities that are in progress or have not yet started, when you run a risk analysis, Acumen calculates a range of uncertainty values for each activity.
The values that get calculated depend on the distribution type selected.

- Viewing Uncertainty Values
You can view and edit activity uncertainty values and options in two places in the S3 // Risk tab Activity view. - Distribution Types
Acumen includes three distribution types when modeling uncertainty. You can see the distribution type in the Type column of the S3 // Risk activity view or on the Activity Details Pane Duration Uncertainty tab. - Disabling Uncertainty for Specific Activities
You can disable uncertainty values for any activity row by deselecting the Use Duration Uncertainty column check box for the selected activity. - Assigned Uncertainty
Assigning uncertainty is the first step when developing a risk model. Uncertainty is typically driven by unknown scope or complexity of work. - Risk Advisor
The Risk Adviser helps to speed up the uncertainty assignment process by suggesting uncertainty ranges for each activity based on a given criteria. - Importing and Exporting Activity Uncertainty Data
You can export uncertainty values for all in-progress and planned activities to an Excel spreadsheet. - Modeling Task Existence
Acumen Risk provides a means of modeling task existence. - Activity Correlation
Use Activity Correlation to select activities within the schedule that may impact one another. - Uncertainty Distributions
During the Uncertainty loading process, the Gantt chart colors activities based on their uncertainty ranking.
