Assign a Related Item to a Risk

You can use the Related Items detail window on the Risk Register page to identify program risks, projects, or project risks that relate to a specific program risk. Create links when multiple project risks can be managed by a single program-level risk or when one program risk is related to another program risk. Use links to manage numerous small project risks which may not be significant at the project level, but may become significant when aggregated at the program level. You can link program risks to another program risk, a project, or a project risk. You can only link project risks to program risks. When linking a project risk to a program risk, you can select program risks from any program that the project belongs to.

1. In the object selector, select ﱆ Project or  Program, and then select a project or a program from the list.
2. From the  Main Menu, select  Risk, and then select Risk Register.
3. In the table, select a risk, and then select the Related Items detail window.
4. Select Link , and then select Program Risk, Project, or Project Risk.
5. In the link dialog box, select one or more program risks, projects, or project risks to link to the selected risk.
6. Select Link.
7. Select Save.
