Dashboard Types

Each dashboard serves a specific purpose. Choose the right one based on what you need to accomplish.

Summary Dashboard

  • Distribution by owner
  • Breakdown by project phase
  • Project-level summaries

When to Use

  • Preparing executive reports

Focus Dashboard

Sidebar: Dashboards Focus

The Focus Dashboard highlights items requiring immediate attention. It surfaces high-risk items, overdue mitigation measures, and unassigned risks that need owners.

What You Will See

  • High and critical rated risks
  • Overdue mitigation measures
  • Risks without assigned owners
  • Items approaching due dates

When to Use

  • Daily risk management check-ins
  • Prioritizing your workday
  • Team standup meetings

Project Dashboard

Sidebar: Dashboards Project

The Project Dashboard provides detailed analytics for a single project. You must first select a project to view its specific risk matrix, Monte Carlo simulation results, and EMV/ETV trend data.

Note: After navigating to the Project Dashboard, use the project selector dropdown to choose which project to analyze. The dashboard will populate with that project's data.

What You Will See

  • 5x5 risk matrix visualization
  • Monte Carlo simulation results
  • EMV (Expected Monetary Value) trends
  • ETV (Exposure to Value) analysis

When to Use

  • Project-specific deep dives
  • Contingency planning
  • Project steering meetings
  • Quantitative risk analysis

Mitigations Dashboard

Sidebar: Dashboards Mitigations

The Mitigations Dashboard focuses on your action register, showing all mitigation measures and control actions. Track progress, identify bottlenecks, and measure the effectiveness of your risk responses.

What You Will See

  • Action register overview
  • Mitigation effectiveness tracking
  • Status breakdown (planned/in-progress/complete)
  • Owner workload distribution

When to Use

  • Tracking action completion
  • Balancing team workloads
  • Measuring mitigation ROI
  • Action review meetings

Compliance Dashboard

Sidebar: Dashboards Compliance

The Compliance Dashboard performs a health check on your risk management configuration. It identifies incomplete records, missing required fields, and configuration gaps that could affect data quality.

What You Will See

  • Configuration completeness scores
  • Health check results by area
  • Missing required field indicators
  • Data quality metrics

When to Use

  • Audit preparation
  • Data quality reviews
  • System configuration checks
  • Onboarding new projects

Generating Exports

Risk Companion offers multiple export options for sharing data with stakeholders, archiving for compliance, or integrating with other systems.

How to Generate an Export

1Navigate to the Data

Go to the Risk Register, Action Register, or Project Dashboard containing the data you want to export.

Monte Carlo Results

Monte Carlo simulation runs thousands of scenarios to predict the range of possible outcomes for your project. Understanding the results helps you set realistic expectations and appropriate contingencies.

Where to Find Monte Carlo Results

Monte Carlo simulation results are displayed on the Project Dashboard. After selecting a project, scroll down to view the simulation outputs including percentile values and the S-curve visualization.

To View Results

  1. 1Navigate to Dashboards Project
  2. 2Select a project from the dropdown
  3. 3View the Monte Carlo section with S-curve and percentiles

What You Will See

  • S-curve visualization
  • P50, P85, P95 percentile values
  • Cost and schedule impact ranges
  • Sensitivity analysis (risk contributors)

Understanding Percentiles (P50, P85, P95)

Percentiles tell you the probability of achieving a certain outcome. Think of them as confidence levels for your estimates.

P50

50% Confidence

There is a 50% chance the actual outcome will be at or below this value. This is the median result - equally likely to be higher or lower.

If P50 cost is $10M, half the simulations came in at $10M or less.

P85

85% Confidence

There is an 85% chance the actual outcome will be at or below this value. A commonly used planning target that accounts for most uncertainties.

If P85 duration is 18 months, 85% of simulations finished in 18 months or less.

P95

95% Confidence

There is a 95% chance the actual outcome will be at or below this value. A conservative estimate that covers most scenarios.

If P95 cost is $14M, only 5% of simulations exceeded $14M.

Reading the S-Curve

The cumulative distribution function (S-curve) shows the probability of achieving each outcome value. The steeper the curve, the more certainty in your estimates.

  • X-axis: Outcome values (cost, duration, etc.)
  • Y-axis: Cumulative probability (0-100%)
  • Curve shape indicates estimate confidence
  • Flat sections indicate high uncertainty ranges

How to Use Monte Carlo Results

Apply these results to make better decisions about contingencies and planning.

Set Contingency Budgets
Use P85 for planning contingency, P95 for management reserve
Communicate Risk
Share the range (P50-P95) to set realistic stakeholder expectations
Identify Key Risks
Review sensitivity analysis to focus on highest-impact risks
