[The risk matrix is a graphical representation of the identified
risks and their evaluation in terms of probability (likelihood) of
occurrence and impact on project success factors (costs, time,
quality) if they should occur.]
The definitions of risk probability and impact levels are specific
to the selected project and reflect risk appetite and thresholds.
· Risk #: Numerical number of risk
· Risk: Provide a description of the risk (i.e. Weather impacts –
storm season)
· Probability: defines the likelihood that risk will occur (i.e. H,
M, L)

(time, costs, quality) (i.e. H, M, L)
· Response to Risk: Avoid, Mitigate, Transfer and Accept
· Action Plan: a detailed explanation of the steps for risk
mitigation(s)
· Person Responsible: Who will manage the mitigation strategy
· Status: Status of mitigation process
