Risk Management

Project risk management software. Know which projects are in trouble.

Completix checks live project data against the thresholds you set and lists every breach in one Warning Center. Your team then logs, owns, and closes each risk with a full change history.

Surfaced for PMO review

Most portfolio risk is not missed. It is found late.

These are the situations a PMO lives with when risk is tracked in status reports, spreadsheets, and inboxes.

The status report says green while the forecast says otherwise.

A manually rated status lags the numbers underneath it. By the time the rating changes, the overrun is already in the forecast.

You hear about the slip when someone says it out loud.

Date changes sit in plans nobody is watching. The first the PMO hears is the status meeting.

Nobody can say who changed the score, or when.

Without a record, audits and post-mortems turn into detective work across inboxes and file versions.

The risk lifecycle

From the first flag to a closed risk, in one place.

A warning only matters if it leads somewhere. Completix carries risk through five connected stages, and keeps a person in charge of every decision between them.

01

Detect

Thresholds you set are checked on every data change. Breaches land in the Warning Center.

Warning Center
02

Triage

Risks your team logs are scored and banded Low, Medium, or High. The highest scores rise to the top.

Risk log
03

Own

Every risk gets a named owner who is responsible for moving it forward.

Risk log
04

Mitigate

Record the mitigation plan and keep the status current as work progresses.

Risk log
05

Close and prove

Resolve the risk and keep the history of who changed what, and when.

Risk log

Between stage 1 and stage 2, a person decides. The Warning Center surfaces breaches for review. It never logs, escalates, or resolves a risk on its own, and your team chooses what goes into the risk log.

Detect

Warnings come from your live portfolio, not a side spreadsheet.

You set the thresholds. Completix checks projects against them every time the underlying data changes, and lists each breach in the Warning Center, so a slipped date or a forecast overrun is on screen before the next reporting cycle.

  • Triggers work on hard numbers and dates: budget forecast, schedule and milestone dates, overdue tasks and issues, and resource utilization
  • Checks run against actuals and plans already in Completix, not a separate manual entry
  • Each warning shows the trigger, the actual value, the baseline, and a plain explanation

Triage

Severity tells you where to look first.

Not every risk deserves the same response. Each risk carries a score and sits in a Low, Medium, or High band, and Top Risks ranks the open risks by score across the scope you are viewing.

  • Open risks split by band, with the 30 day trend alongside
  • The worst exposure is ranked first, not buried under the newest entries
  • Your team decides what gets attention. The ranking informs the choice, it does not make it

Ownership

Every logged risk has an owner and a history.

A risk nobody owns is a risk nobody works. Each item in the risk log carries an owner, a mitigation plan, a status, and a change history, so leadership can see not only what went wrong but how the team responded.

Owned to closure

Every item in RAID Management, whether a risk, assumption, issue, or dependency, carries an owner, a due date, and a status tracked through to resolved.

Overdue items surface

Tasks and issues that pass their due dates appear in the Warning Center, so stalled follow-through shows up without a chase. What to do next stays your team's call.

On the record

Risk status can sit beside budget, schedule, and resources in portfolio reporting, so the picture is ready when leadership asks.

Close and prove

When someone asks what happened, the record already answers.

Every change to a risk is stored with who made it and when, from the day it was logged to the day it was closed. Nobody has to rebuild the story from inboxes and meeting notes.

  • Owner, score, mitigation, and status changes are each recorded with author and date
  • Closed risks keep their full history instead of disappearing from the log
  • Posted status reports stay as they were when posted, so the reporting trail matches the risk trail
Risk signals and triggers

Monitor the signals that put delivery at risk.

Completix watches the numbers and dates that matter, against thresholds you choose.

Explore the PPM platform →

Schedule Finish

Watches the finish date of each project schedule against its baseline.

Project Scheduled End

Flags projects whose scheduled end drifts past the planned end date by your threshold.

Milestone Due

Surfaces milestones that slip behind their baseline dates.

Project Budget Forecast

Compares each forecast to its approved project budget, using a percentage you choose.

RAID due dates

Lists overdue tasks and issues from the RAID logs, so stalled follow-through shows up.

Resource utilization

Surfaces over-allocation when resource management data crosses the limit you set.

Risk management, common questions

What is the difference between the Warning Center and the risk log?

The Warning Center watches live project data against thresholds you set and lists every breach for review. The risk log is where your team records, scores, assigns, and closes risks. They work side by side, and a person decides what moves from one to the other.

No. The Warning Center surfaces breaches for human review. It does not escalate, resolve, or create risks on its own, so every response remains your team's decision.

Whenever the underlying project data changes. When a forecast, date, or task is updated and crosses a threshold, the warning appears in the Warning Center.

Triggers work on hard numbers and dates, such as budget forecast against approved budget, schedule and milestone dates, overdue tasks and issues, and resource utilization. You choose the thresholds.

Yes. Changes to a risk are recorded with the person who made them and the date, so the history can be reviewed after the risk is closed.

Each risk carries a score and sits in a Low, Medium, or High band. The Top Risks list ranks open risks by score across the scope you are viewing.

Stop finding out at the status meeting.

See delivery problems as soon as the data changes, with every logged risk owned, worked, and closed on the record.
