Risks

You can add data about the project's possible risks and hazards in the Project's Dashboard. 


Risks section and how to make it visible


There are four types of risks listed in Silverbucket:

Resourcing risk
Scope risk
Budget risk
Schedule risk


As you click on any of the risks a new window opens. In that window you can define the probability (P) and impact (I) of the chosen risk.

As you click on the risk a new window appears

As the P and I values are estimated you can also add a supplementary note about the risk. This is done by clicking the Add a note button.

Remember to click 'Save' when you are done writing the note :)



Risks in the Bigger Picture


In the Projects > Listing view you can have a detailed view about the current risk situation for your organisation's projects. As you have the desired projects listed, you can click on the header called Risks found top-right of the listing.

The Risks tab is located top-right of the project listing


By clicking on individual headers, such as Resourcing Risk or Scope Risk, you can sort the list based on your needs.

Sort the list in ascending or descending order based on the column


Risk History


You can also view the risk history for the projects based on your listing. Risk history tab is located just next to the Risks tab in Projects > Listing.


In the example below we can see that a user Help & Manual User has adjusted the risk values for a project called Help & Manual Project, which was us just earlier in this article.

CREATION = something was created in the risks view
CHANGE = a parameter was edited in the risks view
