Risk Outcome Type

A result if a risk occurs. In quantitative analysis risk outcome types can be schedule-related and non-schedule. Multiple risk outcome types can be combined in risk category. You can customize non-schedule risk outcome types, as well as enable/disable schedule risk outcome types using the Categories and Outcomes dialog. If a risk is assigned to a task, the outcome type can be Increase cost, Delay Restart End task, Cancel task Cancel task + all successors, Cancel Project, and others. If a risk is assigned to a resource, the outcome type can be Increase cost, Delay, Restart, End task, and others. If an outcome is set to No impact, the risk is ignored.
