How do I create a RAID item?

You can create risks, assumptions, issues or dependencies using the Quick Create Menu.

To create a new RAID item:

1. Select the type of risk classification you would like to create. (Risk, Assumption, Issue, Dependency)
2. Enter a Name and Description for your risk.
3. Select an appropriate option below the Assign to Type section.
   
   • Delivery Risk is a risk associated with an Initiative.
   • Realisation Risk is a risk associated with a Benefit.
4. In the Assign this Risk to an Initiative list, select a Benefit or initiative (depending on the type of risk selected). 
   
   
5. Select the Risk Likelihood. 
6. Select the Risk Impact.
   When both the likelihood and impact are selected, the Risk rating column shows the category this risk is rated. You will notice Amplify automatically determines a colour-coded rating derived from the risk matrix. 
   
   
7. Optionally, you can specify the Mitigation description and a Review Date.
8. Select the Status from the list. If a risk is no longer relevant, choose Closed.
9. Click Save.

Creating a Dependency

If you trying to create a Dependency, a slightly different set of options are available:  

1. Select Dependency in the Item Classification field.

Here you may assign an action plan, the task in which the dependency applies, and the tasks/ initiative that the risk classification depends on.
