Safran Risk has released v22.2.0. Read about all the exciting new features.

New Features

  • It’s now possible to login to Safran Risk using Azure Active Directory

  • Advanced impact option that lets risks impact activities and costs in new ways. For example, it’s now possible to spread an absolute risk impact over multiple elements. You can also limit the number of mapped elements that will be impacted each iteration.

  • Column picker that lets you select which columns to show.The ability to add a number of new columns that lets you see the distribution values and more as columns.

  • If you’re using Risk Mapping for inputting activity duration uncertainty, it’s now possible to use all distributions here. You can also use absolute and relative.

Enhancements

  • Activity Duration Uncertainty can now be set to any distribution in the Risk Mapping tab

  • Advanced Impacts lets you spread impact over activities or costs and limit the number of impacted elements

  • Schedule data can now be seen as columns in the Risk Mapping tab

  • On a multi-user database the project is now opened in Update Mode (instead of Exclusive) after an import

  • New columns in the Project Risks tab: Schedule Distribution (Pre andPost), Cost distribution (Pre and Post), Post-Mit Probability, Impact Independently, Notes, and Mappings Count

  • Activity Duration has been added to the Risk Mapping Excel import/export. This will allow setting duration uncertainty in Excel.

  • Resource tab added to Risk Mapping so that resources for each activity can be seen

Safran Risk has released v22.1.0. Read about all the exciting new features.

New Features

  • Automatic Report Package Generator - Functionality to generate a report package that contains a number of output chart images, a Word report, and an Excel report. The report package can be run and customized from the analyze tab.

  • The UI of the sensitivity analysis tab has been updated. It now also allows you to run sensitivity against a schedule summary and against the schedule types duration and start date.

  • Cost Module - It's now possible to have more than one top node and to set the type for each top node.

  • The import of external files now allows three options when updating an existing project: overwrite, update, and append.

  • Distribution Graph - It's now possible to set the target to the value of a user field. This allows you to set up target dates for all the activities in the schedule.

Enhancements

  • Hammock to Hammock links are now allowed by the Safran Risk scheduler.

  • Mode added to distribution graph information.

  • Recent projects are now opened with the same access level as they were opened last time.

  • Added option to grouping in the cost tab to see the whole path in the summary ID field.

  • Added Total Float, Free Float, and Calendar to the Activity Information tab in Risk Mappings.

  • Risk Mean Start and Risk Mean Finish columns added to the schedule.

  • Added option for image size for all the output charts. This allows for consistent size of the generated images regardless of the state of the Safran Risk window.

Safran Risk has released v21. Read about all the exciting new features.

New Features

  • Correlation of Activity uncertainty - It’s now possible to correlate the impacts of activity uncertainties in the correlation matrix.

  • New Cost Module Functionality - Risks can now be mapped to cost elements at the summary level. Allowed for any number of fields instead of just Base and Quantity via the new “Input Fields” functionality. Multiple different groupings can now be applied to the same cost model.

  • New Import of External Files - The import of external files has been completely re-written. It will import files from P6 (.xer and .xml) and Microsoft Project (.xml and .mpp).

  • Switch databases without having to re-start Safran Risk - It’s now possible to switch databases without restarting Safran Risk. The database connections can be saved.

  • Probabilistic Branching has been added. This allows the model to turn on/off branches during the risk analysis. Functionality has also been added to the scripting to make this easier via a script.

Why You Should Upgrade From Oracle Primavera Risk Analysis to Safran Risk – Part 6

I’m Ian Nicholson, VP Solutions at Emerald Associates. I have been working with Oracle Primavera Risk Analysis (OPRA) since 2001 when it was Pertmaster, Emerald being the exclusive Canadian distributor for Pertmaster until their acquisition by Primavera in 2006.

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

Emerald Associates is excited to announce the addition of Safran Risk to its stable of Project Management Tools.

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
