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.

You can use the Risk Driver Comparison Activities or Risk Events commands to select how the result sets are summed.

The chart displays duration in days by default; however, you can display duration in hours and vice versa by changing the display settings on the S1 // Projects tab.

Note: A message box appears when the comparison report you select has no data for comparison. Click the Exposure Chart hyperlink to go to Risk Exposure Comparison view to add a comparison to the risk scenario.
