This workshop is for both new and minimally experienced users of C/S
Solutions' wInsight® tool. Students are provided a CD containing wInsight registry
entries to add functionality. This
customized registry file contains over 35 filters, 45 views, 24
charts, and 2 reports. This enables the analyst to use views and filters
that allow the analyst to efficiently assess data
validity, analyze cumulative performance, evaluate estimate at
complete realism, forecast future performance, and integrate cost,
schedule, and risk performance. Students will receive a copy of
Earned Value Associates’ 200 page manual, Guide to Mastering
wInsight, packed with hundreds of tested techniques for
harnessing the power of wInsight.
Four hours of the two-day workshop are focused on wInsight
administrator functions such as
data import and export, users, contracts, and customer reporting.
Students must provide a laptop with wInsight 6.0 or newer
installed. Those wishing to do the wInsight Administrator
exercises should have wInsight Administrator 6.0 or newer
installed. Laptops with the wInsight applications can be
provided at additional cost.
