System for assessing the risk of projects
First Claim
1. A method in a computer system for assessing risk of a project, the method comprising:
- for each of a plurality of risk types, providing rules for one or more risk factors for determining whether each risk factor is high; and
providing one or more mitigating factors for a risk factor;
receiving information describing the project, the information including data relating to each risk type;
for each of the plurality of risk types, identifying risk factors that have a high risk by applying the provided rules to the data for the risk type; and
identifying mitigating factors that apply to the identified risk factors; and
generating a risk assessment report that includes the identified risk factors and identified mitigating factors.

Abstract
A method and system for assessing risk associated with a project. The risk assessment system provides rules for various risk factors of risk types that are used to determine which risk factors of that risk type may be high. The risk assessment system also provides mitigating factors for the various risk factors. The risk assessment system receives information describing various projects. The information includes the data relating to each of the risk types. To assess the risk of a project, the risk assessment system identifies the risk factors that have a high risk by applying the rules to the data associated with that risk type. After the high risk factors are identified, the risk assessment system then identifies mitigating factors that apply to the high risk factors.
