Add a program risk, issue, or opportunity to the plan

Program risks, issues, and opportunities provide a way for any team member to bring attention to situations that may negatively or positively affect a plan (program, project, subproject, or event) so that program management can affect an appropriate response to the situation. A program risk, issue, or opportunity can be created at any plan level and then added at multiple levels within the same plan or within a different plan. For example, Program Risk 1 can be added to Event A and then also added to Event B.

Note: If your administrator has configured Teamcenter project security, the risk, issue, or opportunity will be assigned to the same Teamcenter Tc_project as the parent program.

Procedure

1. Navigate to a program, project, or event in your folder structure or from the program timeline.
2. Select the desired program, project, or event.
3. Click either the Risks, Issues, or Opportunities tab, depending on what you want to create.

Note: Select a layout from Layout Manager to display details below the timeline, such as the Risks, Issues, or Opportunities tab.

4. Click Add To.
5. In the Add panel, do one of the following (you are constrained to the appropriate object type based on which tab you selected — e.g. the Issues tab only lets you add a Program Issue object):

To	Do
Search for a program risk, issue, or opportunity.	Click the Search tab. Enter the search criteria and click Search.
Select a program risk, issue, or opportunity that was previously copied to the paste buffer using Copy or Cut.	Click the Palette tab. Select it from the Clipboard section.
Select a favorite or recently viewed program risk, issue, or opportunity.	Click the Palette tab. Select it from the Favorites or Recent section.
Add a new program risk, issue, or opportunity.	Click the New tab. Specify the Type. Enter the properties for the new object.

Tip: If you want to add multiple risks, issues, or opportunities with the same or similar values, click Pin Panel to keep the Add panel open.

6. Click Add.
