Project risk, finally connected to real work
A complete, ready-to-use risk register for Odoo Projects: score risks on a 5x5 probability-impact matrix, roll severity up to every project and task, and close the loop with structured mitigation, assessment and lessons learned.
Project risks live in spreadsheets, email threads, or a single manager’s head. When a risk finally hits, nobody documented its probability, its impact on scope, budget or schedule, or an agreed mitigation plan — so teams react late and repeat the same mistakes on the next project.
Cerevantix Risk Management gives every risk a home inside the project it threatens: score it on a 5x5 matrix, link it to a task and an owner, track mitigation and checklist progress, and roll severity straight up to a project health badge leadership can see at a glance.
Everything a connected risk register needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
5x5 Risk Matrix & Auto Severity
Score every risk on a standard 1-5 probability x impact scale. Rating and severity (Low/Medium/High/Critical) compute automatically, with a native pivot Risk Matrix view giving a color-banded overview of the whole register.
Configurable Severity Thresholds
Tune where Medium, High and Critical begin from Project Settings so the severity bands match how your organization actually rates risk — no code, no consultant.
Guided Taxonomy Setup Wizard
A first-run wizard installs a ready-to-use taxonomy in minutes: a generic PM risk library plus an optional construction pack, together covering 50+ pre-configured risk categories.
Reusable Mitigation Library
Build a library of proven mitigation strategies with estimated cost and duration, then attach them to any risk instead of writing a response plan from scratch every time.
One-Click Risk Templates
Turn a recurring risk pattern into a template with default category, probability, impact, tags and mitigations, then instantiate a fully-populated risk with a single selection.
Project & Task Roll-Ups
Every risk links to a project and, optionally, a specific task. Stat buttons on the project and task forms surface open risk count, high-severity count, exposure score and an overall risk health badge.
Assessment & Closure Workflow
Risks move through Draft, Open, Mitigated and Closed states with a parallel Unassessed - In Review - Approved assessment track, plus a close wizard that requires a documented closure reason and captures lessons learned.
Checklist Tracking
Attach a checklist of action items to any risk and watch a live completion percentage as items get ticked off, right on the risk form.
PDF Risk Register & Dashboard
Export the current risk register to PDF straight from the list view’s Print menu, and get a severity dashboard for a portfolio-level read on where exposure is concentrated.
How it works
Set up your taxonomy
Run the setup wizard once to install a generic risk taxonomy, an optional construction pack, or both — 50+ categories ready in minutes.
Log and score risks
Create a risk against a project or task, rate its probability and impact on the 5x5 matrix, and let severity compute automatically.
Assign, mitigate, track
Assign an owner, attach mitigation strategies or a response plan, and work through a checklist while the assessment workflow tracks review and approval.
Close with lessons learned
When the risk is resolved, close it with a required closure reason and captured lessons learned, while the project and task risk badges update automatically.

Frequently asked
Does this module require any paid Odoo Enterprise apps?
No. It depends only on the standard Odoo Community Project and Discuss (mail) apps and installs cleanly alongside them.
Can I use the risk register without the construction pack?
Yes. The setup wizard lets you install the generic PM taxonomy alone, the construction pack alone, or both together — the construction categories are entirely optional.
How is risk severity calculated?
Severity is derived automatically from probability x impact (a 1-25 rating) against three configurable thresholds you set in Project Settings, so you control what counts as Medium, High or Critical.
Can risks be tracked at both the project and task level?
Yes. Every risk links to a project and can optionally link to a specific task, and both the project and task forms show live risk counts and severity roll-ups.
