Scenarios

Scenarios are very similar to snapshots and are schedules created directly within Acumen.

They can be created by Acumen by running acceleration, what-if scenarios, and other operations, or explicitly created by the user. Scenarios can be compared to their respective parent projects using the forensic analyzer and analysis views.

Performing the Critical Path Method (CPM)

Run CPM to determine the most efficient timeline to complete your project. It can help you to save time and identify your most important tasks.

You can set CPM to run automatically. In the Scenario Generation menu, click Scenario Calibration > Run CPM Automatically.

Risk-Adjusted Scenarios with Weather

Risk windows and calendar events have an option to prevent activities from splitting across the event /window. This can delay the start of the activities mapped to these risks. When you create a risk-adjusted scenario, you set the dates and remaining duration. You do not set a target start (constraint) on the start of activities that were delayed by these events. If Acumen runs CPM on the scenario, or the scenario is exported to a scheduling tool that runs CPM on it, the dates will change.
