The Deltek Acumen Risk Exposure Comparison Chart
The Risk Exposure Comparison Chart or the S Chart Analyzer is commonly used to compare the probability curves between different risk models. Deltek Acumen Risk’s schedule simulation software provides Monte Carlo probability distributions based on activity uncertainty. This Monte Carlo analysis is a significant improvement over single point deterministic schedule analysis. Additionally, schedulers can include […]
Deltek Acumen Risk and Adverse Weather Days
Deltek Acumen Risk and adverse weather modeling. Bad weather is difficult to predict and can be a significant source of schedule uncertainty. Adverse weather is an important consideration in the planning of a project. Inclement weather is a common risk on outdoor projects. The temperature dropping below 32°F can put a stop to concrete installation […]
Prioritizing Schedule Risk Using GAO Guidelines
Many projects have risks that may be included in a Monte Carlo analysis. What is often needed, is a simple Schedule Risk Analysis (SRA) framework for prioritizing these risk events. Monte Carlo simulation software, including Deltek Acumen Risk, provides schedule probability distributions based on activity duration uncertainty and risk events. This probability distributed SRA presents […]
