About this task
A risk is any uncertain event that can potentially impact the success or outcome of a demand. For example, an incorrect estimate of factors like financial outlay or resource assignments can cause schedule slippage. Another example of a risk is a change in demand requirements. Recording risks ensures that decision makers have all relevant information when assessing a demand's progress. The demand risks are added to the parent program and portfolio.

Associate the risk with existing issues so you can track dependencies and recognize trends for the future. For more information, see Associate existing RIDAC records for a demand.
Configure a custom Risk rank and Risk value
