Deltek Acumen has three modules: Fuse, Risk, and 360. Taken together, these modules comprise Acumen’s Maturity Framework, a trademarked process that provides a quality, risk-adjusted and optimized schedule that has team member buy-in. Let’s take a look. Acumen is defined in the dictionary as the ability to make quick decisions and good judgments. And it […]

We noticed several folks having difficulty investigating out-of-sequence tasks in Deltek Acumen. Quite often, they thought that they hadn’t correctly imported the schedule baseline. Let’s take a look at this. Out-of-sequence schedule progress occurs when a successor activity begins before its predecessor relationship is satisfied. In the classic example, two efforts are connected by a

Deltek Acumen Risk Analysis can include LOE tasks (Level of Effort). Here we show you how with a demonstration. LOE tasks define scheduling efforts that do not directly contribute to producing deliverables. They do not drive the work and the network logic; their durations extend or compress as their underlying tasks do. So, they do

Deltek recently updated their Acumen Fuse 8.9 DCMA 14-Point Critical Path Length Index (CPLI) metric to compute using the remaining working days. Let’s test-drive this new calculation. The DCMA missed tasks assessment 12 is an early warning alert that your schedule is falling behind. A complement to the missed tasks assessment is the DCMA CPLI

Cost contingency is usually included in the budget as an allotted amount above the estimated expenses to provide a built-in reserve for the authorized budget to address unforeseen costs. Much may contribute to expenses exceeding the project’s budget. There is uncertainty in the estimate. The estimator may have limited information that only allows for an

When you create a cost risk model with a schedule overlay in Acumen Risk, the effect of your schedule delay is included in the cost analysis. Here we’ll explore this. Schedule delays have the effect of increasing labor and equipment costs. As the schedule extends, you must continue to pay for your labor to do

Here in this Deltek Acumen Fuse video, we look at performing a schedule quality analysis on our Primavera P6 project. To do this, we’re going to be showing you the Acumen Fuse Schedule Quality metric group in this demonstration. We’re also going to take a look at the Missing logic results in the Acumen Fuse

Using Acumen Risk to Compare Multiple-Schedule Risk Exposure Deltek Acumen Risk considers project risks to make a more realistic schedule, but how do you efficiently compare the outcome from two separate Acumen Risk models? Here we take a look at this. The traditional Critical Path Method (CPM) is deterministic; it computes the schedule completion on
