What problem does it solve?

Risk identification and management for projects can be fragmented across documents. This Skill provides a structured approach to identify, score, and document risks, enabling reliable decision-making and sponsor communication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Import risks from 6.1/6.2/4.2 and other inputs to draft risk entries.
  • Add risks with required fields (category, source, description, likelihood, impact, response_strategy) and automatically compute risk_score.
  • Set risk tolerance, run risk matrix, and generate a formal recommendation and sponsor report.
  • Save outputs as {project}_risk_assessment.json and a Markdown report for distribution and traceability.

Quick Start

Start by running the end-to-end risk assessment workflow for the current project to generate the risk registry and sponsor report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a structured risk registry with likelihood and impact scores?

To build a structured risk registry, input risks with required fields like category, source, description, likelihood, and impact. The system automatically computes a risk_score for each entry to quantify severity.

How do I generate a sponsor report from a project risk matrix?

Generate a sponsor report by setting risk tolerance and running the risk matrix workflow. This produces a formal management recommendation and a Markdown report for stakeholder distribution and traceability.

What is a BABOK-based risk assessment workflow for project stakeholders?

A BABOK-based risk assessment workflow identifies, scores, and documents risks to enable reliable decision-making. It processes 6.1, 6.2, and 4.2 inputs to satisfy stakeholder risk fields and generate sponsor reporting.

Can I run a risk assessment for both small and large initiatives?

Yes, you can run risk assessments for both small and large initiatives. The workflow applies to varying project scales, importing stakeholder risk inputs to generate a tailored risk registry and sponsor report.

How do I map mitigation plans and owners to specific project risks?

Map mitigation plans and owners by adding risks to the registry with a defined response_strategy. This assigns accountability and generates actionable management recommendations for each identified risk.
