The colour of the slider bar represents the risk action performance.

2.2.1 Colour codes of the performance indicator of risk treatment actions

The performance of a risk action will be denoted by either one of the four colour coded performance categories, ‘On Track’, ‘Off Track’, ‘Monitor’, and ‘Not Applicable’.  

On Track (green) – Indicates that the completion % of the risk action is on track.

  • Monitor (amber) – Indicates that the completion % of the risk action requires close monitoring to get the risk action back on track.

  • Off Track (red) – Indicates that the completion % of the action is off track.

  • N/A (grey) – Indicates that the performance of the action cannot be calculated.

2.2.2 How is the performance of risk treatment actions calculated?

When the action's status is ‘Completed’, the performance would always be set to ‘On Track’.

When the action's status is either ‘Deferred’ or ‘Ongoing’, the performance would always be set to ‘N/A’.

When an action has the status ‘Not Started’ or ‘In Progress’, the performance will be calculated as below:

Performance = (Actual Percent Complete / Target Percent Complete) * 100.

Info

Notes: 

  • Actual Percent Complete = The completion % value of the risk action.

  • Target Percent Complete = Target will be calculated considering the start and end dates with linear progression, whereby, performance would be 0% on the start day, and 100% on the end day. 

  • Target = [(Current System Date - Action Start Date) / (Action End Date - Action Start Date)] * 100%

Example: If the duration of the action is two months, at the end of the first month, the performance target will be calculated to be 50%.

2.2.3 Performance Thresholds 

The performance thresholds will have the following default values. 

  • On Track:  >= 90

  • Off Track:  < 70

  • Monitor: Less than 90 and greater than or equal to 70.

You can change the threshold values under the Progress Calculation page, accessed under, Framework > Project Settings > Progress Calculation.

Once you enter relevant details, click Save. You can tract any modifications by clicking on the History 'h' icon. 

Info

Notes: 

  • If the ‘Current System Date’ is equal to the ‘Start Date’, then the calculated Target will be 0. In this event, the performance indicator will be shown as ‘On Track’. The performance calculation will be disregarded.

  • If the action has a ‘Start Date’ which is a future date, irrespective of status or % Complete, the performance indicator will be shown as ‘On Track’.

9. Control Title – A dropdown with a list of controls linked to the risk to which the risk action is linked. Allows you to enter a control solution straight from the risk solution/action. Solution added from here is automatically added in the control detail solution grid.

10. Convert to Risk ControlConvert to Risk Control icon will be displayed when a risk action is 100% completed. Clicking on ‘Convert to Risk Control’ will convert the risk action to a control solution. Once the risk action is converted to a control solution, the Convert to Risk Control icon will be greyed out since a risk action can be converted to a control solution only once.

Info

Note: ‘Control Title’ and ‘convert to Risk Control’ fields will be displayed only when the risk control feature is activated in Risk Module.
