What is the Risk Assessment template?

Change the way how your team makes decisions by analyzing all the risks and perils. Make sure any potential threats to your project’s success are identified and dealt with before they get the chance to derail your work. Manage the risk for complete control over your project, deadlines, and objectives.

 

Make a list of all threats and worries that might appear during your project journey. Together with your team, decide collaboratively whether their consequences are negligible, marginal, critical, or catastrophic. Then, distribute the work amongst the team members and start working on the best solutions as soon as possible.

 

Identify all of the problems on sticky notes and transform them easily into Jira issues to start working on solutions to your problems. Connect issues with lines or links to show dependencies between tasks and decide what to deliver first. Stay in touch with your coworkers by leaving insightful comments.
