An exclusive system for risk management | Tips and Tricks | Zoho Sprints
Zoho Sprints' risk management feature gives teams a structured, industry-grade system for identifying, quantifying, and mitigating risks to eliminate probable impact.Project or product teams that run on Zoho Sprints might be using sprints, work items, and epics to identify, document, track, and complete the items related to the risk to indicate that it has been mitigated.
Here's what risk management offers:
- A risk register to record potential threats along with the probability of occurrence and level of impact
- A risk matrix to customize the qualification parameters like impact level, probability, and risk class for the risks
- A mitigation control system to add and track the measures taken to bring down the severity of impact
- A verification process to review and approve the mitigation efforts
- An evaluation mechanism to audit and approve the decrease of impact or probability after due mitigation efforts
- A risk dashboard for quantifiable insights and bird's-eye view of progress from initial impact at the time of risk identification (inherent impact) to the final impact after the mitigation and course-correction efforts (residual impact)
