Configuring a risk type
Prerequisite
- Access to the Configuration> Classification > Risk type (PR037) menu.
Introduction
Configuring risk types allows for classifying the various risks that may be identified during the life cycle of a project. This classification makes it easier to analyze, monitor, and handle risks, promoting a more structured preventive management.
All risk types that may be used in the system must be created in the Risk type menu. These types are displayed in a hierarchical structure, which contributes to a better organization and segmentation of the risks by nature, impact, or area of occurrence.
This menu will only be displayed if SoftExpert Risk is NOT part of the solutions acquired by your organization.
