Explanation
In a probability and impact matrix using RAG (Red, Amber, Green) rating, the actual priority level assigned to a specific combination of probability and impact is determined by a look-up table. This table maps each intersection of probability score and impact score to a priority rating (e.g., High/Red, Medium/Amber, Low/Green). The Risk Management Plan defines the methodology and thresholds used to build that matrix, but when a team member needs to resolve confusion about where a specific risk falls, they consult the look-up table embedded in or accompanying the matrix. The Risk Response Plan is created after prioritization, and the project sponsor is a stakeholder, not a reference document.
