Overview

The Risk Matrix displays a two-dimensional matrix for the risks of one or more projects. The configuration of a matrix defines two risk estimates and their range of values. Typically, these are the values of fields representing risk impact and probability. Using a color-coded scheme, each cell within the matrix represents a given risk level, indicating the significance of the risks with those values. Risk levels can be configured according to the needs of the organization.
