Inputting Local Risks Using Task Information Dialog Box

You can define task risks in the Risk Tab of Task Information dialog box. All risks entered here are “local risks” and are not added to the Risk view.

To create a Local risk:

1. Open the Task Information dialog box.
2. Click the Risks tab.
3. Double click on Risk Name field and type in the name of the risk. 
4. Use the Indent/Outdent buttons to create hierarchical structure of risks. This simplifies the enabling and disabling of risks. If you enable a summary risk, all of its risks are enabled and vice verse.

Notes:

• Risks added to the task in this tab do not affect the baseline schedule calculation.
• You cannot add risks to summary tasks.
• Ensure that you have clearly defined your risks and uncertainties. For example, if you have already accounted for risk using a range (Base, High, and Low) of durations, do not add this as a risk as it is accounted for twice in the calculations.

Tip: 

You can copy and paste risks between tasks. Right-click and from the shortcut menu, choose Copy Risks to copy a risk. In the target task’s risk list, right-click and choose Paste Risk to add the copied risk to the task.
