Standard Risk Data Gives Managers a Portfolio View of Project Risk Over Time

Turn scattered project risks into standard risk insight across time and across the portfolio.

Para built a project and program risk solution with historical analytics. We standardized risk registers across projects and collected them into one historical store. Managers could then see how risk changed over time across the portfolio.

Business challenge

  • Project risk data sat across many separate project sites.
  • Managers needed to see how risk moved over time, not just where it stood today.
  • Every project needed to rate and classify risk the same way.

Para approach

  1. We standardized the enterprise risk information model.
  2. We recorded project phase and functional categories.
  3. We collected project risk data automatically on a set schedule.
  4. We stored snapshots over time in one central repository.
  5. We analyzed how risk changed across the portfolio over time.

How it works

Validated risk information, historical-snapshot and analytics pattern. Evidence: risk architecture and system design, field mapping, project configuration, deployment and runtime evidence.

Delivered capability

Standard risk model

One consistent way to rate each risk and name its owner.

Historical snapshots

Keeps a record of how each risk changes over time.

Automated collection

Regularly pulls together risks from many project sources.

Project configuration

The basic details that identify each project and its phase.

Enterprise taxonomy

Controlled categories for project phase and functional area.

Portfolio analytics

Reports that show how risk trends across projects.

Evidence-supported outcomes

Historical visibility

Managers can see how project risk changes over time.

Portfolio view

Standard data supports risk analysis across projects.

Less manual consolidation

Scheduled collection cuts the need to gather risks by hand.

Reusable risk pattern

Provides a repeatable project-risk analytics approach. It is not a complete ERM or GRC suite.

Technology & delivery context

Older SharePoint project risk lists feeding a SQL Server historical store, with scheduled sync and reporting.
