Identify, score, and manage every risk.

Log risks with a probability × impact matrix. Every risk gets a score, a category, a response strategy, and an owner. Sort by score to see your highest-exposure risks at a glance.

  • P × I scoring (1–5 × 1–5 = 1–25)
  • 7 categories — Schedule, Scope, Cost, Quality, Resource, Technical, External
  • 4 response strategies — Avoid, Mitigate, Transfer, Accept
  • Open · Monitoring · Closed status flow

  • Planned and actual per line item
  • Link entries to WBS nodes
  • Multi-currency — per project and per organisation
  • Total planned, actual, variance summary

Structure your project before you build it.

The Work Breakdown Structure is the foundation of every PMBOK project. VanillaPM's WBS builder lets you decompose your project into up to four levels — and link tasks, risks, and budget items to any node.

  • Up to 4 levels of decomposition
  • Inline node title editing
  • Add, reparent, and reorder children
  • Cascade delete keeps the tree consistent
