Add project risks to capture potential threats or opportunities that might impact your project.
For convenience, you can add risks to projects from different areas in the application, depending on the tasks you are performing at the time.
You can capture risks in the Projects section from the Risks, Activities, or EPS pages.
- Adding Detailed Project-Level Risks: The Risks page is the risk register where all risk data for the projects on which you are working is stored. You can customize the page using filters or grouping to view a specific list of project risks. From this page, you can assign probability and impact values to obtain a risk score and risk exposure value, and create risk response plans that include response plan action items to reduce or eliminate the negative impact of the risk. If you previously added risks to a project from the Activities page or the EPS page, you can use this page to add detailed information about the risk and perform qualitative analysis.
- Adding Risks to Activities: Use the Activities page when you are working in the detailed activity level to quickly add a risk or assign an existing risk to activity. From the Risks detail window, you can assign probability and impact values to obtain a risk score and risk exposure value. To view all risks on the project or to create risk response plans, use the Risks page.
- Adding High-Level Project Risks: Use the EPS page when you are working at the project level to quickly add a risk to a project. From the Risks detail window, you can assign probability and impact values to obtain a risk score and risk exposure value. To perform a more detailed analysis of your risks, such as assigning risks to activities or creating risk response plans, use the Risks page.
