The event risk register that scores itself — built by an event director, not a software company. Set probability and impact, and every risk gets its rating, colour and place on the heat map. Owners, plans and review dates keep it alive until event day.
Inherent — the risk as it stands today: the probability and impact you scored in the register, before mitigation takes effect. This is the honest starting picture.
After mitigation — the residual picture: the probability and impact you expect once controls and mitigation actions are in place. Score these in the register's Residual column. Risks without residual scores don't appear in this view — so the gap between the two pictures is exactly the work still to do.
One register per scope. One risk library per event. One heat map for every meeting.
Give each risk a probability (1–5) and an impact (1–5). The score, the colour and the band — Low to Extreme — compute themselves. Change either number and everything follows: the row, the heat map, the top-exposure list. No formulas to drag, none to break.
Category rows (dark) group risks by theme: weather, technology, people, money. Drag rows by the ⠿ handle to reorder. ↕ Sort orders each category by score, worst first. Paste a whole list at once with 📋 Paste list — one risk per line.
The 🗂 Risk library tab holds the classic event risks — power cuts, network overload, weather, no-shows — with typical scores and suggested controls. Add them to any register with 🗂 From library, then adjust the numbers to your event. Add your own presets; they carry to every future event.
A risk without an owner is a worry, not a plan. Give each risk a response (Monitor, Treat or Avoid), mitigation actions, an owner and a review date. The coverage bar in the toolbar shows how much of your register has an owner and a plan. Passed review dates turn red — that's the register telling you it's going stale.
Mitigation working? Score the residual columns — probability and impact after your controls — and the Risk Board can show both pictures.
▶ Risk Board is the full-screen view for the steering meeting: the 5×5 heat map, top exposures, coverage and overdue counts. Toggle between inherent and after-mitigation. ⤓ Report prints it as an A4 risk report for authorities and the board. 🔗 Share sends a view-only link — including a direct Risk Board link.
