The
risk distribution chart can be accessed at any of the parent view pagesĀ (e.g.
organisation,
programme,
project,
sub-project, or
change request) via the Risk distribution tab and shows a plot of all the risks on at that level.
An example of the risk distribution chart at the organisation level is provided in Figure 1.

Figure 1 – Risk distribution chart
The vertical axis of the chart shows the percentage consequence (impact) a risk will have and the horizontal axis shows the likelihood (probability) that the risk will occur. A disk is plotted where each risk falls against these two axis. If more than one risk falls at a particular point then the disk size increases. The charts background shows a graded colour scale from red through amber to green to help visualise a risk’s overall risk factor.
