Effective risk management often involves sharing critical risk information and producing comprehensive reports for stakeholders. This article explores two key features of Lucidity Risk: forwarding individual risks to relevant parties for increased awareness and action, and generating detailed project Risk register reports that provide a holistic view of your project's risk landscape, enabling informed decision-making and robust risk oversight.
1. Forwarding Risks to the system administrator for review
Video: Forward a Risk to the System Administrator for Review
Any changes to risks in the project risk register, including the addition of new risks, are not transferred to the master risk list or to the master template. They can, however, be forwarded to the system administrator as a recommendation where they will be reviewed for possible inclusion into the master risk register and template. This allows for a process of continual improvement throughout the business.
This process starts when the project manager of the risk register creates a new risk in the project risk register or modifies an existing risk and they feel the new or updated risk should be included in the master risk register. The process is illustrated in the diagram below.
To forward a risk from the project risk register to the system administrator for review, from the Risk page:
- Click Show Filters.
- Use filters as required to locate the relevant risk.
- Click Filter.
- Locate the specific risk at the bottom of the screen.
- Click Send to Administrator to the far right of the relevant risk.
- Provide a reason for the system administrator explaining why the new risk or the change to an existing risk should be kept in the master risk register
- Click Send to Queue.
- The risk will now be included in the processing queue on the master risk register, together with the reason entered.
