# Project Risks

Each project or task contains a risk register, to record, manage and progress project risks.  
Risks should be identified and reviewed throughout the lifetime of a project.

Risks are assessed with regard to likelyhood and impact then assigned a risk score calculated from this.  
Mitigation action plans map out how this risk will be managed, reduced, eliminated or accepted, then a further assessment of likelyhood and impact is made.  
Sub-projects may be assigned to a risk where this assists the mitigation plan.

All risks have an assigned owner, and active risks show up in a panel on the user's home page or dashboard.

A system wide risk register is also available in the reports module.
