About Risk Outcome Types

A Risk Outcome is the result if a risk occurs. Every risk category must have a least 1 outcome, but can several. For example, one of the default risk categories is Legal. You may want to further define the outcome types as Litigation Risk, International Legal Risk, etc. You can customize the set of outcome types using the Risk Outcomes dialog box. For more information about customization of risk outcomes please read Managing Risk Categories and Outcomes.

The set of risk outcomes types are different for qualitative and quantitative risk analysis. For quantitative risk analysis, RiskyProject automatically adds a number of schedule specific risk outcomes, such as restart task, fixed cost increase, etc. For more information about risk impact please read Managing Risk Assignments.
