Risk Distribution by Project

Individual high-risk issues are problems. A project where most open issues have elevated risk scores is a structural governance failure. This visual shows you the distribution of risk scores across all open issues per project — so you can see not just whether a project has any risky issues, but whether risk is the exception or the norm.

What you can conclude

• A project with a high median risk score has a pervasive governance problem, not an isolated one — the entire backlog needs attention.
• A project with a low median but a high maximum score has isolated outliers — targeted intervention on specific issues is the right response.
• A project with zero critical-tier issues (score ≥80) is well-governed — open issues are being actively managed.
