These help topics provide information about key concepts and components relating to Risk.

- Analyze Risk Results Using Forensics and Metrics
Use the Acumen Forensic analyzer to compare alternate scenarios built during a risk analysis. - Cost Risk Analysis
You can create a new cost estimate directly within Acumen Risk in order to perform a cost risk analysis. - Cost/Schedule Overlay
Use the cost/schedule overlay to view how costs are affected by schedule uncertainty. - Critical Schedule Drivers
When you run risk analysis and include uncertainties and risk events, each simulation may have a different critical path. - Filtering the Activity Grid Data
The Activity grid includes a filter row just below the Activity grid header. - Hierarchical Codes
By default, activities are grouped by WBS. For Primavera, Open Plan, and MSP projects, Acumen allows you to import and report on multiple hierarchical codes. - How Does Risk Perform a Cost/Duration Allocation?
Acumen Risk performs the cost/duration allocation by spreading it proportionally on the assigned activities, depending on their remaining duration. - Importing and Filtering Cost/Schedule Files
You can conduct a risk analysis on both projects and snapshots within Acumen Risk. - Link Cost and Schedule Risk Models
Acumen Risk provides a fast and effective means of linking cost and schedule risk models together. - Mapping Parallel Risks
Risks that cannot be recovered from simultaneously are considered in series. This is the default mapping in Acumen. Other risks do not have the same impact and mapping them in parallel allows their recovery to occur simultaneously. - Multiple Scenario Risk Models
You can create a copy of a risk model, enabling you to run what if… analysis using different settings such as different scenario analysis options. - Risk-Adjusted Schedule
You can generate scenarios based on risk inputs and outputs. - Risk Drivers
Use the Risk Drivers chart to display the key drivers within a risk model. - Risk Driver Comparison
The Risk Driver Comparison chart displays several cost / schedule risk driver result sets on the same chart. Each result set is summed either by activity or by risk. - Risk Exposure
Use the risk exposure histogram to view risk exposure. It is driven by the activity or summary that you select in the activity panel. - Risk Exposure Comparison
Use the Risk Exposure Comparison chart to compare multiple risk exposure scenarios. - Risk Range Factor
The risk range factor is a metric that shows the degree of uncertainty relative to the data that you are reviewing. Acumen displays the risk range factor on the Metric grid below the Risk Exposure chart. - Risk Register (Risk Events)
Risk events are discrete events (threats or opportunities) that carry both a probability and a potential cost/schedule impact to the project. They are typically captured and modeled in a risk register. - Risk Sensitivity
You can use the Risk Sensitivity™ chart to evaluate the relationship between durations and/or costs by creating a scatter chart showing their interaction. - 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.
