This popup is shown in Figure 3 and is used to escalate a risk to a higher authority.
This form allows you to escalate this risk upwards, e.g. from a project to a programme, or to a specific user. Use the authority drop-down list to select where you want to escalate the risk and if you are happy with this selection, click the “Escalate risk” button at the bottom of the form. Click the “Cancel” button if you no longer want to escalate the risk.
