Add Mitigation Steps to Risk Events

Add mitigation steps to risk events. Mitigation steps allow you to assess if mitigation will reduce project risk and if the improvement will be worth the investment.

After you customize the risk scoring matrix and add risk events, you can add mitigation steps to each risk event.

To add mitigation steps to risk events, complete the following steps:

1. On the S3 // Risk tab, click Views > Left Panel > Risk Register.
2. In the Risk Register grid, select the risk event to which you want to add mitigation steps.
3. On the Mitigation tab, enter a description in the Description column for the step.
4. Optional. To include cost/schedule effort required for the mitigation, enter data in the Duration and/or Cost columns.
5. Select the risk levels in the Probability, Schedule, and Cost columns. As you add mitigation steps, you should list them in order of minimum to maximum probability of improvement.
6. If needed, click Add Step to add another mitigation step then repeat steps 3 through 5. The new step will default to include the data from the previous step that you can then edit. You can add as many steps as you like; however, Deltek recommends limiting the steps to avoid adding too much information to the chart.

1. Map the risk event to a task.
2. Run risk analysis with mitigation and add to risk comparison.
3. View risk event mitigation scenarios.
