Correlation of risk assignments

Also risks can be assigned globally to all tasks or resources.

These risk events may occur at the same time (risk assignments are correlated) or in different times (risk assignments are not correlated). The default rule, or how different risk assignments are correlated, is defined in project options. To change this rule:

1. Click the Schedule tab. In the Settings and Options, click Options. The Options dialog box opens.
2. Click the Risk tab.
3. If check box Risk assignments to different tasks are correlated is checked, all local and global assignments of the same risk will be correlated by default.

You may always change correlation of local risk assignments:

1. Go to each risk assignment view or dialog.
2. Double click on risk assignment ID.
3. Go to correlation tab and change how risk events are correlated.
