Risk management · 5 min read
Identify and track project risks
Capture and assess risks, connect them with actions and review them regularly in the project context.
Context
Why structured risk management?
SAP projects combine technical, organisational, schedule and budget risks. A shared risk register makes assessments, actions and accountability traceable.
Working frame
Assessment logic
- Probability: low, medium or high
- Impact: low, medium, high or critical
- Risk score as a shared basis for prioritisation
