Attached where they matter
Create a risk on the task it threatens, give it a title and detail, and keep it next to the work instead of in a forgotten tab.
- Per-task risks
- Title and description
- Always in context
Risk management
Track the risks that move your dates.
Risks don’t live in a separate document: they sit on the task they threaten, linked to the work that mitigates them, so cause and effect stay visible.
- On the task itself
- Linked mitigations
- Unaddressed count
Payment provider rate limits
Open
December holiday crunch
Mitigated
Reporting deferred to v2
Accepted
Risks with a place in the plan
Mitigations are real work
Link the sub-task that reduces a risk and the one it would hit. The mitigation is scheduled like anything else, so the plan accounts for it.
- Link a mitigating sub-task
- Link an affected sub-task
- Shows on the timeline
Status you can scan
Mark each risk open, mitigated or accepted. A summary counts them, and warns while open risks remain unaccepted.
- Open / mitigated / accepted
- Live summary counts
- Warning until addressed
Risk questions
What does “accepted” mean?
A risk you’ve decided to live with. It stops counting as unaddressed but stays on record.
Does a mitigation affect the schedule?
Yes. A linked mitigating sub-task is real work with effort, so it takes capacity like any other task.
