Risk Trend Chart Settings

Risk Severity Levels

Each color on risk matrix represents a particular risk severity level. By default, there are only three ranges: 'Low' – green, 'Medium' – yellow and 'Critical' - red. Each severity level can be associated with certain risk mitigation and response actions. For example, risks that appear on green cells are low risk and can be accepted.

Using Risk Trend Chart settings dialog you can define:

1. Order of bar on Risk trend chart associated with particular risk ranges. For example, for each time period Low risks (Green color) will first, Medium risk (Yellow color) will be second and High risks (Red color) will be third. You can use Move Up and Move down buttons to to define the order.
2. Name of each range.
3. Risk trend chart periodicity (Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly, etc.)
4. Maximum number periods in in Risk Trend Chart. For example, Risk trend will show 10 month back starting from the current month.

Risk Trend chart settings can be invoked from Format Risk Matrix dialog or by right click on Risk Trend Chart.
