Poor visibility into risks
Wrike’s project risk analysis template provides comprehensive risk visualization and pre-built RAID entry forms, so your teams can easily update stakeholders and monitor the status of project liabilities.
Problems are too siloed
Use the project risk assessment template to view risks holistically, along with their level of severity and impact. You can also notify other teams by cross-tagging and helping your organization make well-informed decisions.
Teams lack information
Wrike’s business risk assessment template provides you with a clear outline of information needed for each risk report and RAID log. Identify the causes and impact of each risk at a glance.
How to use the project risk analysis template in Wrike
The risk analysis template streamlines the way you raise new RAID entries and view risks. These risk reports and logs are housed in a central risk analysis page, helping you better manage resources and maximize outcomes by improving your visibility across multiple tasks and projects.
With Wrike’s project risk assessment template, you can:
- Create RAID entries with request forms
- Categorize your risks using folders
- Progress reports through different stages of mitigation
- Manage and organize risks through a dashboard
Step 1: Create a RAID entry
The template comes with pre-built request forms to help you create detailed RAID entries.
Fill out the pre-made form with details like RAID type, description, business cost, and whether the problem should be classified as a risk or not.
Risks can also be graded by using a conditional part of the RAID form. The score of each risk can range from 3–15, depending on factors such as the risks’ impact, probability, or proximity.
Once you create a new RAID report, it’ll land in the “RAID Intake” folder, which provides a tailored table view of potential risks. This table displays several custom fields and calculations, like the status of the problem, its cost to the business, risk score, and more.
As individual project managers submit new risks, this table view will help program or risk managers gain a more holistic view of risks across multiple tasks or projects.
Risk reports can also be easily shared with other teams to improve visibility across multiple projects.
Step 2: Assess reports
Risk managers can assess each report and decide whether or not to confirm it. If a report is accepted, it can then be sent to the RAID Log folder by changing its status to “In Progress.”
The RAID Log folder is divided into four subfolders:
- Risks
- Assumptions
- Issues
- Decisions
As they progress through the mitigation process, risk managers can move it through each RAG (red, amber, green) status, as well as assign milestones and due dates. Once sufficiently mitigated, the problem can be resolved and marked “Completed.”
Step 3: Track statuses
The business risk assessment template also includes a RAID Manager dashboard, which provides full 360-degree visibility of RAID reports at a glance.
