]project-open[ supports Risk Management as one of the 10 key PMBOK  areas. ]po[ allows organizations to capture, evaluate, prioritize and track risks for individual projects, portfolios of projects or the entire organization.

Process Summary

Risk management in ]po[ revolves around a tabular list of risks – the risk log. The sheet maintains a centralized list of risks, together with key characteristics including probability, impact. The project manager is responsible to identify and capture risks during the entire lifespan of a project.

These reports are available as operational reports in HTML and CSV format, but also available in PowerPoint for executive reporting.

Risk Approval Workflow

]po[ offers the option to associate approval workflows with risks, allowing for administrative control of risks. Newly entered risks need to be approved by a supervisor, a centralized risk department of similar constructs. Workflow routing decisions may depend on a variety of factors including probability and impact of the risk.
