So we’ve got very low and very high, or 0.1 to 0.9. As you can see, we’ve got the probability on one side, and its actually given descriptive terms and numbers just so you can see the difference. Here’s an example of a probability of impact Matrix. The reason we use numbers is if numbers are used they can be multiplied to give a probability impact score for each risk, and that’s a great way to prioritize those risks. Or more common is numeric values, where a 5 might be a high, and a 1 might be a low for example. And things like descriptive terms could be used if you want to – so it might have a “high impact”, medium, low, very low. So first of all, both opportunities and threats are rated, so we do want to find the strengths and our weaknesses of our project. So is it a high priority? Is there a high probability and a high impact? Then we probably want to be focusing on that, and the low ones we can maybe leave for later. And what’s the impact if that actually happens? Is it high, is it low? By giving it a rating, it allows project risks to be allocated into priority groups. We ask, “What is the probability of it happening?” Maybe it’s 70 percent for example. It’s a grid for mapping the probability of each risk occurrence, and its impact on your project objectives if that risk occurs. What is a Probability and Impact Matrix? Well, it’s part of your qualitative risk analysis. The following rating scale considers the resultant impact on the business should a risk occur and can be used in the assessment of consequence for ICT systems.– See All Project Management Key Concepts – Significant impact to government reputation media news coverage involves the Minister or PremierĮxample rating scale for risk consequence (systems) Major impact to government reputation control will involve a number of agencies Moderate impact to government reputation control of impact can be managed internally, but risk is high that other parties may need to be involved Some impact to government reputation control of impact can be managed internally Little to no impact control of impact can be managed internally Major change to any critical requirements If multiple impacts could occur with different consequence ratings then the most critical impact should be selected as the overall rating to ensure appropriate management of the risk. The following rating scale considers the resultant impact on the business should a risk occur and can be used in the assessment of consequence for ICT initiatives. Likelihood scaleĮxtremely unlikely or virtually impossibleĮxample rating scale for risk consequence (initiatives) The following rating scale considers the likelihood that a specific risk will occur and can be used in the assessment of likelihood for both ICT initiatives and ICT systems. Example rating scale for risk likelihood-initiatives and systems The QGEA uses this matrix and associated rating scales in its assessment of ICT initiative and system risk and provides them here for agency reference only.īelow are presented scales for rating likelihood and consequence that can be applied to initiative risk and to system risk. It combines the likelihood of the risk occurring and the consequence should such a risk occur, to result in the risk rating for treating and/or monitoring the risk. The risk matrix diagram below follows the guidelines set out by Queensland Treasury and Trade A Guide to Risk Management-July 2011.
