Acumen PM

Some companies have history. Acumen has a legacy.

Based in Austin, Texas, Acumen is a privately held U.S. company, founded and run by strong leadership with a long legacy in the project management community.

Our company was born from the acknowledged need for improved project performance, insight, and vision, through analytics with respect to both timeline and bottom line.

As a project management solutions company, Acumen is the indisputable best at providing insight into project challenges and using analytics to effectively overcome them, as well as aligning successful performance with corporate vision.

Building sound schedules for successful projects.

It takes a good plan to make a great project. This truth is at the heart of Acumen. Of course, our version is a little more specialized for the project management community: A sound schedule is the key to a successful project – and an exceptional project manager.

Core Concepts

As Acumen seeks to build better schedules, we operate from two fundamental beliefs:

1. The integrity of the CPM schedule–an integral factor in the reliability of subsequent resource loading, cost engineering, risk modeling, and overall project execution performance–is the key to ensuring project success.

2. In accurately forecasting project completion, a realistic, risk-adjusted plan is much more valuable than a deterministic schedule.

On July 15th, 2013, Deltek announced that it had acquired Acumen, an innovative provider of project management products and services for project-oriented businesses. Built for the needs of today’s successful project manager, Acumen delivers innovative project planning and scheduling, analytics and risk management solutions that help companies develop profitable and achievable project schedules, ensuring projects are on the right track from start to finish.
