Risk Thresholds and Tolerances Definitions

[GUIDANCE: Describe how much risk is acceptable by each key stakeholder for each project objective.]

Probability/Impact Scale Definitions Table

[GUIDANCE: *This is an example: Opportunities represent positive impacts to both project exposure and objectives; threats represent negative impacts to both project exposure and objectives. Below are example tables . You can replace with your own definitions table. Add a legend to explain definitions.]

Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS)

[GUIDANCE: Define the potential sources of risk of your project. Your first level should be RBS Level 0 (Left-hand side – All Risks); next your RBS Level 1 will be your categories of risks (that is, technical risk, financial risk, regulatory risks, et cetera); next level – RBS Level 2 will be your risks used in your risk identification/assignment and project review sections.
