Risk Heatmap

Probability-by-impact grid with risks plotted as dots. Makes the risk register actionable.

How to Use It

Distinct from a generic heatmap: risk heatmaps plot named risks on a probability (x) and impact (y) grid. Use a 3x3 or 5x5 matrix with color zones (green/yellow/red). Place each risk as a labeled dot or pill. The top-right quadrant is your action list. Pair with a follow-up slide that names mitigation owners for red-zone risks. Common in board decks, operational reviews, and PM status readouts.
