GS Risk 
 
GS Risk is a risk management tool that has been designed for IBM internal use.  Lessons learned from thousands of services projects have been used to create risk assessment criteria and provide best practice risk mitigation suggestions.  The GS Risk tool guides project managers through an in-depth risk assessment and minimizes the time it takes to create a risk management plan.   
  
GS Risk identifies areas of project management strengths and concerns. GS Risk also provides an overall project health classification of "A, B, C or D" along with detailed explanations of why the classification was assigned.  An "A" project is considered a well-managed project with no significant issues.  On the other hand, a "D" project indicates that there are significant issues that must be addressed.  GS Risk can also help project managers build action plans to address the areas of concern. 
  
GS Risk assessments are tailored to fit nearly any type of proposal or project.  The GS Risk tool:
