Risk Scoring Matrices detail windows:
Description: The area used to describe the risk scoring matrix.
Projects: The area where you assign the matrix to one or more projects. Note that only one matrix can be assigned to a single project. If a matrix is not assigned to a project, risks can still be entered in the risk register on the Projects Risks page; however, the probability, cost impact, and schedule impact threshold fields are disabled, and you cannot use the qualitative analysis features of the application. At any time you can create a matrix and assign it to an existing project.
Probability and Impact Diagram (PID): The PID is a graphical representation of the selections made in the Risk Scoring Matrices work area. The number of rows and columns is determined by the matrix size. The rows are the probability levels and the columns are the impact levels.
The code and name fields for the impact threshold levels are customizable when creating a threshold; therefore, the column labels for the impacts are "Severity n." The number of severity columns reflects the number of levels assigned to the impact thresholds.
The color coding indicates the tolerance threshold assigned to the risk scoring matrix. These same tolerance colors are also visible in the Score and Score (Text) fields on the risk register on the Projects Risks page when risk values are entered.
Probability: The details of the probability threshold assigned to the matrix needed to perform a qualitative assessment on project risks. This detail window is read-only. To change anything related to the threshold, navigate to the Risk Thresholds page.
Impacts: The details for the impact thresholds assigned to the matrix. A cost and schedule impact must be defined for the matrix to perform a qualitative assessment on project risks. An unlimited number of user-defined impact thresholds can be assigned to the matrix. From this detail window you can add or delete impacts to the matrix; however, you cannot modify the threshold values. To change anything related to the threshold, navigate to the Risk Thresholds page.
Tolerance: The details for the tolerance threshold assigned to the matrix. This detail window is read-only. To change anything related to the threshold, navigate to the Risk Thresholds page.
