Risk register
Risk register

Risk register is used to keep information about all relevant threats and opportunities related to plant and its execution. A properly selected set of properties allows to store risk probability, its impact on plan/project, proximity, describe the risk and proposed reaction and also set a person responsible for the risk. One of the important features facilitating project management with P2ware Planner is a possibility of linking entries in the risk register with other plan objects, e.g. products, activities or resources. Thanks to that while working with other plan objects one can simultaneously browse risks related to them.
Lessons log (Lessons learned log)
