How correlated risks are calculated

Risk correlations can only be defined in the risk tabs on Task Information and Risk Information dialogs.

1. Double-click on the risk ID
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.

Correlation of risk assignments

The risk events may occur at the same time (risk assignments are correlated) on 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.
