SPREADSHEET RISK TRACKING
What Is It
Spreadsheet risk tracking is a method of summarizing
and documenting project risks in a spreadsheet format
and periodically reviewing risk statuses. Spreadsheets,
along with other risk reports as supporting materials,
can be included as part of regular project (weekly or
monthly) meetings for risk statuses and updates. They
should be adapted to project's needs, concise and
easy to read, but should contain enough information to
help personnel make informed decisions.
When To Use
Use this method
- When a concise and easy to read format is needed
for risk information (to support project status
meetings). For complex risks where detailed
information is needed for review and discussion, Risk Information Sheets or
other forms of detailed risk reporting may be
required.
- To track assigned risk and plans and develop
status reports.
Benefits
This method
- Provides a concise and easy to read risk
information and status format (to facilitate group
meetings and risk tracking).
- Provides a history or sequence of activities on
project risks for reference.
- Is flexible and can be tailored to specific
project's or organization's needs.
