Risk Status View

You can use Risk Status View as a depository of changes to risk probability and impact. It is similar to Risk History, but contains more information, while can be edited, printed and exported to Excel. Each time risk probability and impact are changed, the record will be added to the Risk Status view. The main purpose of this view is to show how probability, impact, and changing over time for all risks. The record includes:

To assign a mitigation plan to a risk:

1. Risk name and Risk Unique ID, associated with the record
2. Date of the change
3. Description of the change
4. Pre-mitigation probability, impact, and score for all categories. It can be used as predicted probability, impact, and score. They are generated automatically based on what is defined in Risk Register view, but can be modified by the user.
5. Actual probability, impact, and score for all categories. They are user defined in Risk Status view.
6. Pre-mitigation and actual probability, impact, and scores for individual categories. They are user defined in Risk Status view for each status record and may not correspond with probability, impact, and scores for individual categories in Risk Register view. Columns for this data are hidden by default.
7. Additional information, which can be recorded in five custom text fields and five custom number fields for each record. Columns for additional information are hidden by default.
