RI$K 102: Introduction to Cost Risk Analysis and ACEIT RI$K (v7.5)

Includes ACE, CO$TAT, and POST Tools

COURSE LENGTH: 2 Days (8:30am - 4:30pm)

PREREQUISITES: Students must have attended the ACEIT 101 training course. We strongly recommend that students have developed at least one estimate in ACE.

OBJECTIVE: This is an introductory course providing a basis for a cost risk evaluation using the ACEIT software by guiding you through the process of modeling the uncertainty in your point estimate. It is designed for analysts who need clarification on the basic concepts of uncertainty analysis and guidance on how to systematically apply uncertainty to their estimates. You will explore the nature of uncertainty in an estimate, learn about the most common uncertainty distributions, and receive guidance on choosing the most appropriate distribution.

At the completion of the course you will be able to:

•        Identify where and how uncertainty should be applied in your point estimate

•        Recognize the standard uncertainty distributions and know where to apply them

•        Apply an uncertainty distribution to CERs and their inputs

•        Understand when/where/how to apply correlation

•        Understand how to apply Discrete Risk

•        Fit a Distribution to a dataset using Distribution Finder

•        Understand the concept of Joint Cost/Schedule Uncertainty

•        Understand the requirement for and process used to allocate risk results in the estimate

•        Develop a risk-adjusted, time phased estimate in BY and TY$

•        Generate key risk charts and reports in ACE
