Can you set up the Risk Matrix for Opportunities?

Yes, the Risk Matrix supports opportunities. To view opportunities on the Risk Matrix, open the Risk Matrix view and click the Opportunities option on the top right.

In addition, you can modify the Opportunity matrix to differentiate it from the Risk Matrix, in the Format Risk Matrix dialog box. To modify the opportunity matrix, select the Opportunity option, and modify the matrix as you would for risks.

There are no limits to the number of colors or the range of colors that you can apply to the risk matrix. As an example, if you had a standard 5x5 matrix with 25 cells, you could have 25 different colors. We don’t recommend this, but it is becoming very common to see risk matrixes with up to 6 colors as the example below shows. However maximum number of cells in risk matrix is 10x10.

Are there any trends in how Risk Matrixes are set up?

Here are a couple of trends that we have seen emerge over the past years that are becoming more popular.
Black Swan Risk
In this case, the default risk matrix setting is used, but the Critical risk cells are extended down to the bottom right corner of the matrix. This is done so that any risks that have lower probability, but very high impacts (black swans) are always considered critical and must be managed.

Serious and Critical Categories
This is used often used to add an additional level or risk planning required for risks that while not considered critical, should have more management resources than risks that have been assessed as moderate. In this case, the additional severity category is shown as a fourth color that sits between the critical and moderate risk cells.
