Mapping Risk Events to Activities

You must map risk events to activities/cost elements in order to include them in the risk model.

If you used a Risk Matrix icon to create a new risk, the risk is automatically mapped and no manual mapping is required.

If you manually created a risk event in the risk register, then you must map it back to an activity or group of activities. You can map risks to individual activities as well as groups/summaries/WBS elements.

If you map a risk event to, for example, a parent WBS element, then all children activities automatically get mapped as well. This provides a very fast means of mapping to summary groups of activities yet still retains accuracy of the model itself.

You can complete manual risk mapping either from a risk to activity(s) or activity to risk(s) perspective.
