// Acumen Risk™
Powerful risk analysis, simplified...
Project risk analysis tools don’t have to be complicated in order to provide true and accurate risk forecasts.
Acumen offers Acumen Risk™, a full-featured, easy-to-use risk analysis software that:
helps you analyze uncertainty, evaluate risk events and develop mitigation plans to
proactively reduce overall project risk exposure;
identify and report key risk drivers and high risk areas of the schedule to understand where
to focus mitigation efforts;
self-evaluate project risk and uncertainty with a proven risk workshop method built directly
into a software tool.
Acumen risk combines high fidelity risk analysis with an easy-to-use, project-team oriented user
interface—your perfect risk workshop in a streamlined risk tool.
Avoid ‘Garbage in, Garbage out’
Acumen Risk is an integrated cost/schedule risk analysis tool combining cost and schedule risk
analysis against a native project plan with identified risk events from a project risk register.
Accurately capture risk scores and uncertainty ranges with Acumen Risk’s Uncertainty Factor™
approach: a simple-to-use sliding scale that project teams can actually relate to. Eliminate the need for
painful risk workshops trying to identify cost and schedule risk impacts using complex, out-of-context
statistical terminology.
Combine this with the flexibility of the Acumen Risk risk register, which captures both current state and
targeted mitigated state enabling you to analyze the cost-benefit of executing your planned mitigation
steps. In short, determine the most cost and schedule effective risk response plans.
Acumen Risk™ combines true cost and schedule risk
analysis against a native project plan with identified
risk events from a risk register.
Acumen Risk™ Uncertainty Factor Approach
accurately captures team perception of project
uncertainty and risks.
