How Risk Rating Works

You can rate your risks on the main risk page. All the other risk management components and actions that you can perform are on the risks page within a project. Create a detailed risk on the risks page and assign it to a risk category. The category is equivalent to one of the risk categories or factors listed on the main risk page.

If the overall score for a detailed risk differs from the rating you assigned to it on the main risk page, the two risk management components interact. The score of the detailed risk overrides the rate you assigned. If you create detailed risk without assigning rates, scores from the risk entries color the appropriate factor in the list.

Example

Suppose, you delete a detailed Funding risk, and multiple risks of the risk category type exist. The risk score for that risk category/factor is recalculated based on the combined score of all the risks remaining in that category. If, however, you delete a Funding Risk and only one risk of the category remains, you can select a risk value from the Funding drop-down.
