Why don’t Safran Risk results match Oracle Primavera Risk Analysis (OPRA) results on impacted risk models?

A client recently reached out because they couldn’t get Safran’s results to match those from OPRA. What they have been finding is that occasionally the values from OPRA are significantly longer than those from Safran, particularly above P80 confidence levels.

In this series of blogs, I will explain why I feel that all OPRA users should upgrade to Safran Risk (SR).

Safran Software is a leading provider of Enterprise Project Portfolio Management and project risk management software solutions to project and asset-intensive industries.

Safran Risk has been developed by the same team that developed Pertmaster. They looked at where the industry is going and designed Safran Risk to be the next generation of probabilistic analysis tools - one with the unique ability to create both cost and schedule risk models and map the two together.

This software has been developed with a visually appealing and accessible user friendly interface, with a fully integrated scheduling environment. Safran Risk has been identified by Dr. David Hulett as the only commercially available solution capable of supporting his “Level 5” risk maturity level. Safran Risk also allows for seamless integration with Oracle Primavera (P6) and Microsoft Project tools.

• Near real time modelling of all cost and time variables concurrently
• Seamless and robust cost risk analysis
• Innovative reports to provide additional insight into risk impacts
• Comprehensive risk correlation including probabilities and impacts
• The intuitive Safran Risk interface encourages best-practice processes
