Risk/Issue Management

[Django]

Does anyone have an idea of how to use Project Standard to manage Risks and
Issues? I know this can be done using the enterprise version. But I am using
the standard version.

There are no built-in tools with Project Standard to do this as you have
seen in Enterprise version. Enterprise is a *much* larger product and
uses Sharepoint to do this sort of thing. Really not a function of
Project. If you can conceive of 'projects' (or tasks) to manage risks
and issues, then manage these 'projects' with Project.

Hi Django,
I've done this by using a series of 'customiseable
fields' to store risk/issue information. First define the
fields you need, then define a new view (table) to show
these fields, and finally create a custom report.
Cheers,
Peter.

I've done it by using a number of custom fields. You may
want to define the following fields:
Description (text)
Owner (text)
Chance that risk will occur (number)
Impact (number)
Calculated Risk (number, formula = Chance * Impact)
Remedy or actions to prevent/cure (text)
Then define a table to display these fields and you may
want to define a custom report and appropriate filters to
select tasks with risks.
This works pretty well for me.
Cheers,
Peter.
