Link Project Risks in the Risk Library

Linking similar risks helps you see patterns, compare risk data across projects, and investigate unusual risk values or trends. Use the Linked Project Risks tab in the detail window to connect individual project risks to a library risk.

For example, you created an Unexpected Ground Conditions risk in three projects. To reuse this risk in future projects, create an Unexpected Ground Conditions risk in the library. Then, link the existing project risks to the library risk. If Unexpected Ground Conditions has a medium rating in two projects and a high rating in the third project, linked risks help you identify the difference and investigate the factors that contribute to the higher rating.

To link project risks in the Risk Library:

  1. In the object selector, select Workspace, select View Workspaces List, and then select a workspace name.
  2. From the Main Menu, select Risk, and then select Risk Library.
  3. Select a risk, and then select the Linked Project Risks tab in the detail window.
  4. Select Link to Project Risks....
  5. In the Link to Project Risks panel, select the project risks to link to the selected library risk.
    1. Use Search to quickly find project risks.
    2. Select Show All to view all project risks or Show Selected to display the project risks currently linked to the library risk.
    3. Select Include risks from child Workspaces to display project risks in child workspaces.
  6. Select Save, and then select Close.

Tip

  • The Linked Project Risks Count column on the Library Risk page displays the number of project risks currently linked to the library risk, and the Linked Projects Risks tab displays the hyperlinked risk project name and the project ID.
  • To remove a linked project risk, select the "" Context menu next to the risk and then select Remove.
  • To update which columns display in the Linked Projects Risks tab, select "" Settings.
