Risk Correlations
Different risks can be correlated to each other. For example, bad weather conditions (risk 1) can mean that the delivery of the goods can be delayed (risk 2). For each risk, you can specify correlated risks or view risks, which can occur with a particular risk. For example the risk Technical Difficulties with HTML editor and occur together with the risk Major problem with web site.
To define risks correlated with the selected risk:
1. Double-click on the risk ID,
Or
Right-click on the risk and choose Risk and Mitigation from the shortcut menu.
2. Click the Correlations tab.
3. Select a risk from the list of all available risks.
4. Select the task or resource to which this risk is assigned. This is required when risks with the same name are assigned to different resources or tasks.
5. Click OK to save this information.
Notes:
- Different correlated risks may have a different chance of occurrence. In this case, risks with the greater chance may not occur together with another correlated risk.
- Risk correlations can be specified once for different alternatives of the same risk.
- The Moment of Risk will not be correlated: even though risks are correlated, they may occur at a different moment during the task duration
