Improve the odds of success

Take this 5-minute test to determine how risky is your project. This test will identify if your project should be monitored using Crims.

CRIMS - Cost/ Risk Identification and Management System


A Crims graph
Probability Cost
10% $1,750,000
30% $3,025,000
50% $5,000,000
70% $10,725,000
90% $22,200,000

Cost is tightly associated with uncertainty and risk. The greater the uncertainty the more difficult to predict cost. It is possible to have accurate budgets if you implement a Crims strategy. Crims is the acronym for Cost/ Risk Identification and Management. It is a innovative method for budgeting.

The Crims Innovation

Crims uses probability to calculate total project cost. Project budgeting used to consist of predicting (crystal ball) the cost of activities. A more accurate method is to use estimating ranges. These ranges can be used to build a matrix of trillions of possible scenarios.

Great Budget patent pending technology builds a model to simulate different scenarios and accurately predicts the total cost of the project. This can be accomplished without predetermining an exact cost of each activity.

Great Budget Software builds an accurate budget based on the scenarios. The products collect activity ranges and build a table of probability based on many of the billion possible scenarios.
