Assign a Risk to an Activity

If your project team has identified risks in the project risk register, you can use the Risks detail window to assign risks to an activity. Assigning risks to an activity enables you to indicate where in the project schedule a risk can potentially impact.

This information is also used during the risk analysis process to simulate the impact of risk on project activities during the simulation runs. The risk analysis generates risk-related data for each activity that is saved in the system. Risk data that are calculated for activities during the analysis include pre-response and post-response activity dates and durations, as well as a criticality index, which measures the probability that an activity will be part of the critical path. This data can be displayed in the Activities view as fields or as bars in the Gantt chart to identify activities that require special attention.

To assign risks to an activity:

Navigate to the project Activities page
1. In the object selector, select a project.
2. In the sidebar, hover over  Schedule, and select Activities.
In the table, select the activity.
On the Layout menu, select  Activity Details, and then select the Risks detail window.
Select Assign.
In the Select Risk dialog box, search or browse for the risk, select it, and then select Select.
All changes made to this page are saved automatically.

Tips

You can assign risks to multiple activities at the same time. Select multiple activities, select the  Context menu, hover over Assign, and then select Risks.
