Faster Approvals – Automate risk assessment and focus CAB discussions on high-impact changes, ensuring mitigation plans are in place before implementation.

Automate Workflows – Route changes dynamically based on their risk level.

How the Change Risk Calculator Works

The risk calculator allows you to create a set of questions for each type of change that gather the important details defining the risk and assigning a numerical risk factor.

Risk factors can be defined for:

• Change Complexity – Dependencies, integrations, and technical difficulty.
• Business Impact – Effect on critical systems and operations.
• Overall Risk Assessment – Categorized as Minor, Moderate, or Significant.

The calculator will then define an overall risk assessment, categorized as Minor, Moderate, or Significant.

The Benefits of Risk Scoring

• Planned Major System Upgrades – A consistent and scientific calculation of the priority and risk ensures risk factors are always assessed before major infrastructural changes.
• Security Patches & Fixes – Based on technical assessment and testing, critical updates that are proven to be low-risk are fast-tracked.
• Application Deployments – Risk factors such as system downtime and integration dependencies can be ranked.
• Process Changes – When modifying business processes, consideration can be made for the dependencies on other processes and other factors such as resource availability avoiding unintended consequences.
• Emergency Fixes – Streamline the assessment of risk factors allowing emergency changes to proceed quickly and safely.
