Workflows
Design workflows that include risk-related statuses, such as "Identified," "Assessed,"Mitigated," and "Closed."
Risk Issue template

Progress is Blocked Comments
Comments to track updates, discussions, and actions related to the risk. Team members, stakeholders, and risk owners can provide regular updates, share insights, propose mitigation strategies, or discuss progress in resolving the risk.
