In FinancialForce PSA a risk represents the potential of an adverse effect against an opportunity, account, milestone, or a project.
You can work with risks to highlight the level of impact and likelihood a risk could have. For example, a risk can be flagged against a and assigned to a project manager as the risk owner. You can do this even if you don't have access to the project's details. A risk Alert is sent to the project manager who can then resolve the risk with a managed plan of mitigation and contingency. See Setting up Workflow and Approval Processes to configure alerts.
You can associate risks with issues and vice versa. For example, you can view the history of a risk related to an issue to understand why the risk became an issue. On an issue, for instance, you can use the Risk lookup to associate the two records with each other. You can add risks as a related list on the Issue page and vice versa if you want to.
To create issues and risks, see Creating an Issue and Creating a Risk respectively.
