INSTRUCTIONS

GETTING STARTED
- Review the Validation tab  if you have some specific Requirements on how you want the Risk Severity calculated. To start with you might want to leave those and see how you go.
- The impact description and rating can be changed
- The Likelihood Description and rating can also be changed
- The Severity is calculated by adding the rating allocated for the Impact and Likelihood of that Risk. (i.e. Impact Rating of 3 Likelihood of 4 will mean the Severity is 7).
- If you change the Rating of Likelihood or Severity in the Validation tab, you will also need to adjust the Risk Severity in the same tab to ensure all instances have been allocated a description.

REGISTER
Then you can use the Risk Register in the Register tab:
- You can change the title by inputting data directly in the Text Box at the top.
- You can delete the first Risk or leave it as example
- You can input data in all the cells, with the exception of the Risk Severity which is calculated.
- Some cells are being validated from the tables located under the Validation tab. Those cells can either be left blank or selected via the drop down menu.
- If you do not enter an Impact and a Likelihood, the Severity calculated will not be reliable.
- I am suggesting you use the IF / THEN but as this is plain text, it is not necessary.b
