Which artifact is useful for seeing total project risk increasing or decreasing over time?

As risks are mitigated, retired, or realized, the graph shows whether aggregate risk is trending down (the desired outcome) or unexpectedly rising. A Burndown bar chart tracks remaining work…

Explanation

A Risk Burndown Graph plots total risk exposure over time across the entire project. As risks are mitigated, retired, or realized, the graph shows whether aggregate risk is trending down (the desired outcome) or unexpectedly rising. A Burndown bar chart tracks remaining work (not risk). A Risk Burn-Up chart is not a standard artifact. A Risk Map (such as a probability/impact matrix) is a snapshot tool for visualizing individual risks at a point in time, not a trend view of total project risk over the project lifecycle.
