Risk Matrix

A Risk Matrix is a tool used to evaluate the likelihood and impact of potential risks, typically represented in a grid format.

A Risk Matrix is a tool used to evaluate the likelihood and impact of potential risks, typically represented in a grid format. It helps prioritize risks by assigning each one a severity level based on its likelihood and potential consequences.

  • How to apply it:
    • Use a Risk Matrix to categorize risks and assign priority levels based on their potential impact and probability.
    • Focus on high-priority risks first and develop mitigation strategies for them.
    • Tip: The Risk Matrix can be updated throughout the project as new risks are identified or existing risks change in likelihood or impact.
