Every new project brings a risk to operations. Replacing a billing system without a contingency can zero out the company's cash in a week. **Operational Risk Management** isn't being pessimistic; it's being professional. It's the art of planning "Plan B" while executing "Plan A."

### **Mapping the Storm**

Risks are classified by two factors:

1. **Probability:** What is the chance of it happening?
2. **Impact:** If it happens, how big is the damage?

A High Probability, High Impact risk (e.g., postal strike on Black Friday) requires an immediate mitigation plan.

### **The Risk Matrix in Jestor**

This is where Jestor stands out by delivering the solution in practice:

- **Risk Log:** Create a table connected to your project to list all foreseen risks, assignees, and status.
- **Severity Calculation:** Use formula fields to multiply Probability x Impact, highlighting in red the risks the board needs to look at.
- **Contingency Triggers:** If a risk materializes (e.g., card status changes to "Occurred"), Jestor triggers automatic tasks for the team to activate Plan B.
