                                            The events or circumstances inside or outside the project that can affect the success of the project are called Risks.<\/p>\n

                                              \n
                                            • Risk can be Identified – Intensity change in level – Occurred – Dropped using the RISK module.<\/li>\n
                                            • With the help of risk details and Mitigation plan status, status of the risk can be easily identified.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                              The stages in the life cycle of a risk are as follows:
                                              \nRisk identification -> Risk assessment -> Mitigation plan definition -> Risk occurrence -> Implementation of mitigation plan -> Closure<\/p>\n

                                                \n
                                              • An identified risk that is no longer perceived to be a risk for a project can be dropped from the project.<\/li>\n
                                              • A risk that has occurred cannot be dropped.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                                The severity of the risk is calculated automatically. It is the combination of the impact and probability of the risk.<\/p>\n

                                                  \n
                                                • While adding the risk, the risk mitigation plan can also be added.<\/li>\n
                                                • This plan is the corrective or the preventive measure to avoid the risk or reduce its impact in order to make the project successful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n
