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.

Related Topics:

  • 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.
